    First ever Barber quarter and 3 other silvers, 8 Wheats from 2 day hunt

    Found the 1909 Barber, 1942 Nickel, 1944 and 1941 dime (not scratched one) last two days. Found the other 1941 last week. Also found 8 wheats last 2 days including one 1918 and 1919. Warm weather has given me a 5 silver coin jump for the year Found Barber with F75LTD2 with 5 inch stock coil about 6 inches down. Found others with E-trac. The F75LTD2 has found less silver than the E-trac but the 5 inch coil has found some of the most epic finds.

    Awesome Barber! Those small coils on any machine can sniff out epic finds amongst the trash. Small coils are a must if you hunt trashy parks. Congrats on all of your finds!
    Detectors I use: Minelab Equinox 900 & Manticore
    Favorite finds I have made:
    1,000+ silver coins
    92pcs of 1700's Trade Era Silver
    Copper Culture Indian Artifacts
    125+ War of 1812 Era buttons and relics

    Finding a barber quarter has eluded me for the last 2 years of detecting. I was so pumped when I found it. That is why I detect. The excitement of the find.

    Nice finds ... tell you one thing you'll really like that 5 inch coil on the F75 in the iron.

    I have never seen another detector do as well with a 5 inch coil. I have owned the v3i, E-trac, and F75
