I had a weird day detecting. Lots of older places with lots of potential, but I only came up with one keeper. The site the keeper came from was a big two story house supposedly built in the late 1920's. It had lots of potential but it turned out to have a lot of fill dirt on the yard. Plus it was a very nice yard. I could hardly get a signal and moved to the west side of the yard and starting swinging under a very old oak tree. Swung all the way around close to the trunk and got nothing.
I then got out about three foot from the base and bam a solid quarter signal on the Nox 33-34. I circled it and it was still solid. The meter read 4 shovels. I started digging thinking silver for sure. I hit roots right off the bat and not wanting to dig a giant hole I kept it not very big. I got down about 4 inches and with the root and small hole got careless. I dug a couple inches deeper and hit it as I uncovered my first Barber quarter. My first Barber anything, and first 1800's coin for 2019. Another one literally scratched off the bucket list. A 1895 S in pretty good shape except for my scratch I am sick about. This coin seemed to be in very good shape for a late 1920's house.
