Dear Whites,

This year has been a good one for me and the DFX. I've had great success finding coins and relics. One of my best coins this year has to be this beautiful 1901 barber half dollar. The story goes like this. After detecting one of my old cellar holes for a few hours and only coming away with a few old plain buttons and a 1859 indian head penny (in very poor shape), I decided to call it quits on this particular spot. Instead of heading straight toward my truck, I decided to go across the road and walk along an old stone wall. Well, apparently a barn used to stand in this area and alot of trash had been dumped over the years. Beer cans, junk iron and shotgun shells were abundant but I refused to just shut the machine off just because of all of the junk. Then about twenty or so feet from the truck I hear a pretty good tone ring out amongst all the junk signals. Tone ID is a great feature I must say. I pinpointed it at six inches. By this time I'm thinking an old large cent, so I dig about 4 inches then use my handheld pinpointer to locate the target. I then grabbed a handful of dirt and saw a gray disk in the middle. The feeling I got when this barber came out of the hole was great. I couldn't believe the condition it was in. I am very pleased that this detector could lock onto a coin in all that junk and still make it sound good enough for me to want to dig it. Way to go Whites!

Sincerely yours,
Danny L.
