All the better keepers from the last week. I've been working with my my new Fisher F75 LTD SE and I really am clicking with it. I squeezed out some deep wheat cents and a silver Roosie at a spot I've met other people hammering for silver the last couple of years but now I am pretty sure to be the only one hitting it at all. Like this whole section of an urban park was just overlooked until a couple years ago.
The Barber dimes Tuesday were difficult, deep targets (6" range) and one dime was clearly on edge that the F75 sniffed out from the lumpy - dumpy uneven turf. One dime was clearly in a fire. The Barbers came about because my detecting partner Matt and myself knocked on a couple doors but no one was home. We will come back to those properties another time. We did spot a field that we knew we could detect and after having lost time driving around the decision was made to "just do it"!!! Matt's first target was an Indian cent, a great sign ...game on! My first good signal was a 1912 doggie tag. Not my oldest but any pre 1920 DT's I prize. It's been a while since I've found three Barber silver coins in a day. The weather has been really cooperative and I'm grateful to have so much fun. It's an excellent single frequency detector with useful, really functional features and great ergonomics.
My V3i snagged the coppers, balls and buttons on Monday. I also snagged another large copper Thursday (not pictured). All of it using the U13" coil both days in farm fields. This time of year I know the detecting season could be put on hold indefinitely at any time so the mild weather days are so welcomed.
