<\/a><\/p>\nThe barber Q was hard, and I almost didn’t dig it.\u00a0 First of all, I was running on channel 7 (and despite having found nearly 1200 silvers, I have never ever found one on channel 7 (I think its a crap channel for silver), but for some reason, there was brutal EMI here today, and channel 7 was by far the quietest for some reason, and it did hit a reasonably deep wheatie).<\/p>\n
When I hit the Q, it seemed like an iron false, a deep, iffy high tone with an FE # in the 20s, and when you pinpoint, its wasn’t a tight pinpoint, but a long, linear, pinpoint, the signature of a false off the end of a deep nail.\u00a0 But, when carefully going over the area in pinpoint mode, there was a slight drop in signal strength between the putative ferrous iron object and the putative Q, and that is the tell to dig, and there it was.\u00a0 We’ll take it.<\/p>\n
I’ve seen this before, and I think the takeaway tip is this — when you can’t tell between an iron false and a deep silver next to iron, go as slow as molasses over it, and listen for a subtle signal drop between the nail and its putative end.\u00a0 If you get that, dig, otherwise move on.<\/p>\n
The merc’s were both slam dunks.\u00a0 We’ll take them too.\u00a0 So, that’s that — opened the site yesterday, and closed it today.\u00a0 Farewell farewell.\u00a0 I prefer sites that take 2 months to work, not 2 days, but we’ll take it.\u00a0 5 silvers from an abandoned home, 4 indians, and a possible extremely rare coin (we’ll see at some point).\u00a0 Not bad, not bad at all.\u00a0 But, it leaves us wondering what our next trick will be.\u00a0 I guess we’ll see.<\/p>\n
BTW, that barber Q is my 10th career, and 2nd of the year.\u00a0 They are hard to find, but this is a nice one, full liberty and beautiful, shiny features.\u00a0 Stunning when it came out of the dirt.\u00a0 Too bad the pic doesn’t do it justice —<\/p>\n
Back to yesterday’s site (who wouldn’t?) to finish it off, and had a nice day, pulling a barber Q, a pair of mercs, 9 wheaties, and another toasted Indian. The barber Q was hard, and I almost didn’t dig it.\u00a0 … Continue reading <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
