I haven't been able to do much detecting due the heat and lack of rain. This is my second time out in several weeks. We got a little rain and I thought I'd take advantage of it. I concentrated on a curb strip that fronted a bunch of early 1900's homes. Most of my time was spent swinging the CTX 3030 with the 6-inch search coil. I found a whole bunch of coins with it including two buffalo nickels, an Indian Head penny, a War Nickel. and a few wheat pennies.

Towards the end of the hunt, I switched to the Deus. While working my way slowly down the edge of the sidewalk I got a sweet soft high audio tone with an ID reading of 96. I was pretty sure it was a silver quarter, but I was surprised to see a Barber quarter pop out of the ground. I'll be hitting that area again soon. Hopefully, I can get some permission to detect some yards along that curb strip that I just detected.

Congrats on the barber and other coins. That Barber circuited a little while! Nice.

Thanks, Everyone! I'm once again waiting for some rain to soften the ground. High temperature and hard ground don't go too well together when you're having to do a lot of digging.

Nice hunting, beep! It's been awhile since I've seen a post by you - glad to see you were able to get a couple hunts in. I know the feeling - I barely detected in August, it was just to darned hot or dry...or both!
 
Thanks, Everyone! It's for sure one of the slickest coins that I've ever found. I'd like to see the history of all the times that it switched hands. I can't believe that that this unmasked coin was missed because I know that this curb strip has been detected scores of times through the years. I'm willing to bet that there are many more old silver coins down that same curb strip that are being masked. The only way to find them is to dig ALL targets that ring up higher than iron. When it cools off some I'm going to dig it all in a 20 x 10-foot section with one of my beep and dig detectors to see what pops out the ground.
