Luck was with me today. Went site hopping, hoping for some silver and to my surprise I found a 1904 Barber quarter about 8" deep.

I found it an old park that I knew would be challenging and it paid off. The majority of the clad were found at various locations today.

All said and done, a good day for sure as it brings my silvers FTY at 26.

Great hunt! A Barber quarter is a bucket lister for me. I've dug a few dimes and 1 half ,but never a quarter. Congrats!
 
Congrats on the barber and clad JAK! In my area, the toughest post-1900 quarter to find, is the standing liberty. I've found dozens of Washington and barbers, but only 2 standers in almost 8 years! :shock: good luck out there!
 
Congrats on the Barber quarter & #26 John, looks to be in nice shape. I have been fortunate enough to find at least one each year. I'm still at #26, have been for a long time. Only been out a handful of times since mid-'March. Supposed to cool off a little this week so maybe. Anyhow glad to see you're getting out and again congrats. Mark
 
Thank you!

Thanks MTtrashdigger! I probably was able to find it because this park ground is heavily mineralized with a lot of junk targets too. As I cleared out the junk above it, there she was down below.

Thanks cellrdwellr! At first I thought it was a game/amusement type token as I had to rub off the dry dirt. I was real surprised when I discovered enough of it out in the field to being a Barber. The coin was probably overlooked by others due to the masking of nearby junk targets.

Thanks Mark! For me it is an extra special treat to find a Barber as you know they don't come by often enough. As for silvers, this year it has been mostly dimes. This whole year has been a silver challenge. But, I can't wait to try out the new Nox update to see how it hits on good targets. Stay safe, healthy and HH!

SILVER and a nice clad haul, congrats

Thanks MuddyMo! I was just lucky finding this Barber. If I had swung the coil another inch too much left or right, I probably would have missed it. Swinging slow and steady found this one for me.
 
Congrats on the Barbe quarter. I found my second one in the past 6 years a month ago at a country church yard.

Thanks ecom! Those Barbers are rare for me to find. Congrats to you on your second one too!

Thanks Diggerjonny! I appreciate the kind words. Hopefully, I will find another one, one of these days again.

John, I will be interested in your thoughts on the update. I was toying with the idea of updating one of my 800s and do comparisons on signals. However because of the pandemic I don't have any yards I can hunt. I like to do the comparisons in yards, close to the truck, usually a tree I can lean the second one on, and don't have to worry someone will walk off with it, opposed to dragging 2 around a field or woods with my shovel (which I don't use in yards ) to hunt. The ground is the other issue right now. Guess I'll have to wait. Good luck, Mark

Mark, in short, based on today's results/finds, I like the update very much. I went back to the park where I found the Barber quarter the other day. I worked the part of the field that should probably have had the least amount of finds. But to my surprise I found $15.00 in clad, 35 Qs, 57 Ds, 1 N, and 54 Cs. The area is high in EMFs so I was using the straight 4 frg. to quiet things down a good percentage of the time. And the Nox was sounding sort a like it was in weak gold mode with a nice hum like pitch. I was definitely going deeper. Yes, I was hitting more bottle caps then usual, which was fine with me too as I was testing things out and I was probably more into a dig everything that sounded good. And when I was in Multi, things even seem more stable there and calm too. I am under the impression that the 4frq., is now combined with the other multi freqs. I am looking forward to hunting sites that I have actually hit hard and see what it does there. But for the first trial day, I was impressed especially detecting those higher conductors at a deeper depths and the amount of good clad targets I was hitting. I also was using the 15" coil on this test drive.

Very nice John. A very nice clad count for the cake and a big sweetness icing with that Barber Quarter. Trapper

Thanks Trapper! It felt good to put something worthwhile on the board. Silver has been on a diet with me, but thank goodness the clad buffet line is still open for business to fatten things up.
