Thanks for the tip. The only open area to hunt is the grassy turf area. The dry mineralized ground has lowered the visual ID to the mid 80s on the barber dime should be high 80s -90 on the Deus2. Targets getting slim.

This grassy area has given up many Barber dimes and now add another to the collection.😀1908s Barber Dime. 6 inches deep, ID 85-86, park program on the Deus2. Glad it wasn’t a pesky Rosie I’ve only dug up 2 of them at this area and only silver coin from the 40s was a Mercury Dime. Ground was soft a month ago now it’s hard diggin and temperature today was around 93 degrees I quit after 2 and a half hours. Gonna have to get out a little earlier. Bottom pic is where some of the silver coins may have come from. Denny

I hunt parks, beach and water so I need a coil that’s going to get me the most depth so I chose the 11 inch coil. I feel I’ll be going backwards if I chose the 9 inch.

If coin has environmental damage and still have good detail rubbing off dirt isn’t going to hurt but if you rub too hard it may leave deep scratch lines on the surface.

Nice 1895-O Better not to clean and leave as is. To the right collector you may get $350-400.

Can’t wait to use the Deus2 in the water.

#12 Beach P program. I’ve been using this program the past 4 outings on the turf 17 hours total. 3 hours using relic program at the woodsville settlement dug up a few pistol balls there. Never did any updates.

You’ll find a barber or standing liberty quarter soon. I hate them pesky Rosies prefer something older. I’ve only dug up 2 rosies at the patch of grass I’ve been hunting for over 10 years.

My 1887s seated dime I’d 88-90. The barber dime was 81-83-88. I believe it was on edge because of the lower numbers. Ground here in central California is bad ground I.d. is 92.

That’s exciting news. You may also find a gold or bust coin.

Hit the grassy area for 5 hours on Sunday tried hard to find another gold nugget didn’t happen but manage to dig up a 1900 barber dime. I’d 82-83-88 one way and 81-82 the other. I believe the coin was on edge 4-5 inches deep one of the reasons I bought the D2. Barber coin not corroded like many this one is just worn down from use. Denny

I don’t like the name. Tarsacci too close to the brand Gucci. Isn’t the double CC spelled in the word tarsacci on the detector the same as Gucci. Isn’t that a trademark for Gucci.

Nice You hunting saltwater or fresh?

My ground I.D. is 92 on the Deus2. I’m able to pull coins out of the ground 7 inches. Your ground looks dry a good rain should help with targets.

More pics. after examining the nugget and comparing it to others the same size the nugget looks more like it was dropped by a miner resting under a tree on their way home. I estimate it is worth $300-$400 for this 5 gram nugget. denny

What was your ground I. D.

I don’t wear jewelry so I’ll put it in my display of finds.

Thanks for sharing.

Cleaned up the nugget a bit.

Yes most likely dropped. I don’t think this is a recent drop looks like it was in the ground for years.

Nugget ID 66 on the D2. Yes I was surprised. I expected coins or jewelry but not a gold nugget. I used beach sens program with square and pitch tones, salt on 7. Park program seems a bit weak.

I tried the tarsacci a few times at this patch of grass it did ok with old coins but the D2 is better on land.

Hit the grassy area this morning in hopes of finding another seated dime didn’t happen but did find a 5.1 gram gold nugget a little smaller than a dime. No discoloration it came out of the ground looking like in the pic. ID at 66 on the D2 at 6 inches deep. Also dug up a wheatie and. V- Nickel. Denny

I use #12 beach P program and relic program for parks. Seems deeper than deep HC and general sens.
