    Hey Steve, Very nice to meet you and do a bit of fast detecting. lol That rain really did make a mudfest Congrats on that Barber Dime, it's a nice one for sure. It also means you are in the right place for that ballfield. My ring was plated as we suspected for that era (@1900), but is a nice monogrammed letter M women's ring. Not bad for trying to dodge the rain and only hunting a short while. You learned a couple of things today, one being E Tracs hate rain lol Next time we get together it will be easier to show you more of the patterns and functions. Glad we had a chance to get together and find a couple of nice finds today thumbsup01

    Detecting under that steady rain must have been both frustrating and fun. You guys were likely a muddy mess. lol Sweet finds for such a very short hunt. thumbsup01 That location will likely yield several more old coins and other neat items.

    hey congrats Steve on that barber (we need a picture to satify the old silver fetish lol ) glad you made it out with George , he's very entertaining sometimes but is very knowledgeable with that e-trac .

    congrats to you George for the ring as it looks like an oldie.

    1897 dime.... very well done 1147!

    A 1732 home... that is incredible. The earliest home I have detected was built about 140 years after that one. lol

    You all have some crazy old stuff out there.

    Good luck on the Etrac, sounds like you have a great person to get pointers from.
