View Full Version : all thanks to angel , a barber half
so i was back over the park where i think ive stumbled on to a buired house or somthing .
after an hour all i had was a crotal bell a wheat penny and a load of clad , then i noticed me self swinging like a madman and traveling along at a fare old rate , then the words that angel had said to me came into my head like obe one kenobi slow your swing down and concentrate on the deep signals .
i swear , 5 mins later i get a good signal at 8+ inches and reading a 50c.
and out pops possably the most sexy thing ive ever seen.........this !!!!!!

Lee, there are many detectorist out there that would die for a Barber Half. Huge congrats on slowing down and going after the deep signals. Now lets wait and see if Angel chimes in looking to collect his fee for the advise. lol
