Today after dropping my son off at pre-school I headed to an old farm I had hit earlier this spring with my DFX. At that time I found several wheat pennies but nothing really old and no silver. Well when I got there I was not very optimistic because the grass was about a foot high! I started swinging in the front yard where I had found the wheats and I got a 12-45 repeatable signal on the Etrac. It was showing a little over half way down on the depth meter so I dug it thinking wheat. Cut my plug and scooped out a good handful of dirt. Checked the hole and it was still there. Scooped out some more dirt and as I lifted it out I saw the glint of silver fall back in the hole. Before I pulled it out I was honestly thinking Merc or Rosie but was suprised to see it was a 1914 Barber. Found a few more clad pennies and odds and ends but that was about it.
