Got out in a new place today, a first for me!

[Jack Flynn]

I hunted a place in town that is very old and had a lot of people around it for many many years. Ten minutes out of the truck I got a full scale deep on the E Trac but repeatable signal.
17-18 FE and 44 on the conductivity. At about 10 inches down the Garrett pinpointer started ringing in the hole. I had just found my first Barber dime, 1909, yahoo! I'm tickled to death. It was in the 11 inch range and was laying flat. I hunted for 2 hours and found nothing but deep nails. Lot's of them. I'm gonna have to get some pointers from someone here about these really deep sounds I should be looking for.

Congrats Jack!! Great barber dime, and deep! I love finding barber dimes That place is sure worth hitting again :yes:

Nice Barber, bet you were quite happy with that one.. A scarce find, at least for me.. The E-Trac did a good job once again.

That is indeed a nice Barber dime, Jack. Congrats! Many of the deeper silver dimes are going to give off variable Fe numbers, often remaining in the 14 through 24 range, as well as sometimes having lower than expected Co numbers. Sweet find!

Great find, love them Barbers :yes: That was one deeeeeeep dime lol Glad you decided to dig it and not give up. Congrats on your first and many more I hope.

Great job finding that Barer, I'd bet there's some more deep silver hiding there.

I can't help much on the nails, some of them still fool me. It always seems to hit on the very tip of the nail too. I'd say that deep nails are the price to pay for deep silver.

Good find! My limited experience with the etrac; if it is deep, numbers wander around, but somewhere in there you get a good tone. Right now I am digging in those situations. And so far, as I dig and it is a good target, the tone/numbers improve. That said, I have dug up some deep junk. Still consider myself a rookie with the etrac. So for me it goes back to how much digging I want to do on that particular day.

Nice Barber! Man, you got to love that depth. Deep nails come with the territory. Congratulations.

Nice Barber.. and deep as well. I found REALLY deep targets on the beach with the PI... down 20+ inches. Never went that deep with land detectors... about 14 inches has been the deepest so far with the V3. RickO
