    I feel like the wet ground allows for better signals on the detector. It's just an opinion I've heard from other detectorists also.

    Thanks

    Yikes - that spooky head alien giving the four finger salute looks like it should stay buried - Martians from Cydonia might come looking for that thing :eek:

    I love it, for exactly the same reasons!

    Nice haul. Nice Merc. I never tired of finding those, back in my dig days.

    I'm heading out for another detecting hunt this morning. It's very cold and windy but I'm determined to find a few bucket list items.. Especially a Barber Quarter!

    I only found 3 Barber quarters in my dig days. (1894-O, 1902-O, 1916-D).

    And one Seated (1855).

    I dug more than a roll's worth of Merc dimes. I guess maybe 60-some, in the time I was regularly going out. But I never got tired of 'em. I'd be out there diggin' 'em up still, if I were in better shape physically.

    I always hit cellar holes that ranged from the 1700's to about early 1900's. Lots of Coppers, IHC. and barbers .
