Wow! A Barber Half is an incredible find, Bill! That's fantastic! I've never found one in all my years of detecting. I'm glad your heart was able to withstand the excitement! lol

Congrats on the amazing find!

Excellent recovery....a Barber 1/2 is on many peoples list, but not yours anymore. Congrats. I also swing a V3i and have found my 1st Barber 1/2 this year. I haven't gotten around to doing any customizing to the programs. I sometimes run c&j in 1 freq (2.5).

Great job on the barber Half. I tweaked Magics program today also, it to paid off in Barbers. You just have to love this hobby I'll post about my finds in the stories section after the boy that owns the class ring stops by to pick it up. He should be here any time.

Congrats. :clapping:
