I hate to sound like a broken record but this is from yet another hunt at the grove with the 6"coil on the CTX. I decided to work an extremely trashy area and do what I've been doing with the 6". I basically dig any signal that repeats in one direction. I do dig some iron without a good target in the hole but it is the only way to make sure I'm not missing much. I swing super slow and just listen for that squeak of a high tone and then I investigate in all directions. I'm amazed at what is being masked by the trash. My first find was the 35 Merc and within a foot was the 46 Rosie. The next one was the best of the day and one of the nicest Barber dimes I've found, a 1908-D in AU condition. The Barber was only 3 inches deep and surrounded by trash with a nail almost on top of it. The last silver of the hunt was a 24 Merc. I also found 4 older wheats and a $1.34 in clad.

That Barber Dime is stunning, Jeff! :loveit: Such a beautiful coin!

It is amazing how you are coaxing more silver from that picnic grove after you've hunted it so many times. It just goes to show you how many coins can be masked by iron and trash.

Congrats on another successful hunt! Keep playing that broken record! :thumbsup01:

That's a nice quartet of silver dimes. The Barber could pass for uncirced. Looks like you have the small coil technique down pat. Congrats.
