    Barber dime spill

    My latest hunt with the Deus is from a wooded area that once contained a couple of hotels. They were there form the 1890's until the last one burnt down in the mid 1930's. I had previously hunted this location with the Etrac and CTX with little success due to the infestation of iron. I have to say the Deus preformed well in the iron. My first find was a 28 Wheat that had been shot with a 22. It had to have had 4-5 iron targets surrounding it. The next find was the first Barber dime of the spill, a beautiful 1904 with full liberty. One coil width away was the next two barber dimes an 1892-O and 1899. Shortly after that I got a solid 75 on the Deus and it turned out to be a 1905 Indian. I topped off the hunt with one more silver a 1963-D Rosie another wheat. Video is also attached.
