This afternoon I had time for a short hunt, so I headed to a local park and worked a small field for almost two hours. There had been a scattering of signals, mostly in the pulltab range, but I ignored those since my time was limited. I concentrated on listening for the deep sounding targets and high conductive tones, and it paid off. I picked up two silver coins, a 1946 Roosevelt dime and a 1911 Barber half. :happydance01:

Angel, I think we are from the same area. Congrats on the nice half, dime and wheats. You always seem to have great hunts and your posts say it all. I am sure that there are more halfs waiting for you.

Nicely done Angel. The amount of detail is amazing on that 2 Cent piece. A Barber Half is high on my list of coins I would enjoy finding. Thanks for sharing.
