Went to a place that myself and a couple of great hunting friends have hit before. A small back yard next to some old lots we have burned everything out of the ground with the minelabs. I learned what my detector was telling me today, went to school in other words. That very high pitched silver tone is unmistakable hunting like has been defined here many times. Well on to the finds..... My first barber quarter, 2 of them, a silver nickel, a merc and a rosie, 11 pennies and 4 dimes. No wheats:huh:thinkingabout:? We got em all I think but this stuff was hiding :drool: My first silver was squealing silver but had something else going on. My TID was blipping all over but I isolated it. There were 4 coins in the hole. 2 dimes and a penny then below them about 2 inches and a slight amount to the side was the Rosie. I was getting it in the short slow movement but would hit the others also within an inch. There was a copper pipe running through the dang side of the hole!!!!!!! Got the merc and another dime and penny out of the another hole close by also. All kinds of stuff goin on with other metal too. The highest pitch tone and being repeatable made me dig it. Anyway my first multiple silver day. My first barber quarter X 2, My first silver nickel, my first coins in the 1800's, my first time with my detector set up this way! I'm going back about 3pm today after a nap....

Wow... very nice hunt!! Congrats.

A couple of questions for you...

What Minelab machine are you swinging?
What new settings did you adopt?

I'm still waiting for that moment when everything comes together for me like it has for you.

Very nice coins you recovered.

Got in 40 minutes this afternoon before the mosquitoes killed me totally. I was sprayed down very well too. When you are breathing them in about every 10th breath it's time to go. Anyway I didn't dig a single wheat out of this place this morning. Have dug 22 in the last couple of hunts there. I dug 8 wheats this afternoon 3 pennies and 1 dime, no silver. Go figure! This place is about as big as 3 parking places and the more I turn around in circles hunting it back and forth different directions the more that is being detected. I'm barely moving the coil this afternoon and studying very hard any high peep. Most of the wheats were in virtually nulled out spots this afternoon. The same thing this morning, heavily nulled out broken high peeps got my attention. Can't wait for it to rain and get cooler. The fun part about where I'm hunting is sometime in the not so distant future. This whole city block will be scraped and new construction began. No telling what will come out of the ground by then.

:happydance01: Woo hoo! Congrats to you! I have yet to find a Barber quarter myself... I bet you had sweet dreams of pulling those out of the ground during your nap lol Or were you even able to sleep...

Good luck after they start tearing things down and scraping!
