[@robertchapman7181]

Man, that's purty... I once dug back-to-back Barber halves - 10 feet from one another... those were the days!

[@jerseydigmore7994]

Congratulations on getting the barber half!!!!! I always look forward to watching you videos!!! You have helped me out a lot with learning my E-trac!!!!!!

[@cutaplug]

Thanks Jersey glad you like the vids thanks for watching and commenting =)

[@timmcadoo7890]

congrats on the Barber have found my first Barber quarter this year 2017 been metal detecting for one year recently just went and bought the MX sport from White's today was my second time out with it

[@cutaplug]

Grats on the Barber quarter! GL and HH =)

[@diggingintoyesterday400]

Great finds! Sweet Barber too. Thanks for sharing. GL&HH to ya

[@cutaplug]

Thanks GL and HH to you too =)

[@DugMoneyDetecting]

Nice saves Rusty. It's good to see even the guys with 100's & 100's of hours detecting need to take their time to find a target, sometimes they have a way of hiding! Best of luck man, and it's good to see you back behind the Etrac!

[@cutaplug]

Thanks =) These pinpointers have given me such a rough time lately I think I may just get me a sunray x-1 and be done with it. It's funny cause most of my targets take less than 10 seconds to get out of the ground but the second I start to do a really good live dig like a Barber half all hell breaks lose lol.

[@DugMoneyDetecting]

Cutaplug Metal Detecting I hear ya! My propointer sounded like yours, replaced the battery and it still would false, so I bought the Sunray and love it! A lot people don't know, but you can pinpoint a target in the hole with it. Take care man & GL

[@dirtfishingcanada4527]

Congrats on the Barber half! GL & HH

[@cutaplug]

Thanks GL and HH to you too!

[@DDMMetalDetectives]

congrats on your first seated half.I'm hoping to be able to dig soon but things are still frozen here in Wisconsin. I may need to take a little trip to Illinois and see if I can find something.

[@cutaplug]

I got a seated half several years ago but this time finally got my Barber. The Barber has eluded me forever and so glad to finally get one lol.

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Very happy to see you pull that half out of the ground Rusty! With as worn as it is you're definitely right that it could have been a spill. Those barber halves are one of the most heavily circulated US coins out there. Now I need a seated half like you got. Found 4 seated dimes, but never a quarter or larger. Holler at me when you have the time for some longer hunts. :)

[@cutaplug]

Thanks JD! Now I need a silver Dollar like you got lol Will keep in touch =)

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Yeah. And I had to drive to VA to get it. LOL. The old homesteads up there are amazing. We mop up all the silver dimes and wheaties the poor Tennessee folks dropped. ;-) I can hardly even find silver quarters around here anymore.

[@malyman24]

Sweeeeet Silver coin. Great job. Thanks for another awesome video. Best of luck.

[@pophamlarry]

great video, nice finds! have u ever found any good rings with ur e Trac? what would signal be? thank you for any info....

[@konadog1956]

Nice...got my first silver half ever not long ago...a Walker....I'm sure I'd swung over it 100 times before but that particular day I was cleaning out an area where I'd found a few silvers and old wheats of any trash signals in an older park...I dug up a pull tab and a bottle cap...replaced the plug and about 6" away I heard a solid shallow quarter tone on my F70 (pre etrac)...dug a shallow plug and there it was laying on edge about 3" deep.

[@cutaplug]

haha yep those halves have a habbit of being just a few inches under. I'd say 90% of mine have been 4" or less.

[@kevinmccrory2347]

Great video as usual. I to like using more of a open screen and then I check the target with a discriminated pattern on my CTX. If the high tone doesn't sound any better like iron would and doesn't move around and pinpoints over the high tone I dig it. Really enjoy your videos. Please keep making them with the etrac and CTX.

[@cutaplug]

Glad you like the videos Kevin thanks for your input, GL and HH =)

[@QuarterHoarder]

Awesome big fat silver half man. Congrats

[@cutaplug]

Thanks!

[@rjohnson17]

Man I've learned so much from your other videos. But I have a question...why don't you use the pinpoint function on the detector? Your lucky you didn't scratch the half.

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Sweet. You just uploaded. Watching now. ;-)

[@cutaplug]

My videography is terrible shows I haven't been in a while lol. Really excited about your new series I love the idea =)

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

I think the video was fine, it was that dang Garrett pointer! Is there something wrong with it or is it always that noisy? I'm using the Whites TRX right now as my Nokta RS died (gotta send it in for repair) The Whites is OK, but a bit sporadic and can get on my nerves. I like the Nokta because you can custom set the sensitivity from 1-10. So if you're in hot ground you can just turn it down a few notches and remove almost all falsing.

[@cutaplug]

Man I dunno ever since I moved to TN my pinpointers have given me trouble. I have 4 of them lol. Maybe there is just one bad one in the bunch and I keep grabbing it. I think I need to investigate that more cause it drives me bananas sometimes. So the Nokta doesn't do false like that here? Does it get the depth of the Garrett?

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

The Nokta can false sometimes, but if you turn the sensitivity down or ground balance it stops. And yeah, the soil is highly mineralized here, which is probably why you noticed a difference. I've never compared the depth to a Garrett, so couldn't say. If you're gonna stick with the e-trac I'd consider buying a used sun ray probe on eBay. I love those things and they make awesome live digs. :)

[@yerdigginitmetaldetecting]

Congrats on the silvers, especially that Barber Half. Gotta love big silver. 😎 GL & HH!

[@cutaplug]

Thanks! GL and HH to you too =)

[@TennesseeAdventures]

Great video 👌🏻 I'm still looking for a barber coin myself to cross off my list. Keep up the great work.

[@Yeye3040]

Can you make a video on pinpointing with the e trac

[@x220rulz]

get a whites trx pin pointer ..I had 3 garrett pro pointers they beep constantly ...the whites has a on the fly tap of the button that drops sensitivity slightly to stop falsing if it starts..which is awesome when a pin pointer is driving u nuts...the pro pointer orange at you have to go into the sensitivity setting to lower if it beeps at everything...ive used a few...whites trx is the king

[@greatlakestreasurehunter4231]

Congrats on the Barber half, very awesome! I also was curious what kind of camera do you use for your videos? Thanks.

[@cutaplug]

I use an old Samsung w190rn. I picked it up on clearance at walmart many years ago and it looks better than my Gopro 4 lol.

[@HEAVYMETALDETECTINGOFFICIAL]

great coin mate!!

[@mesalaney7282]

hello cutaplug... so I just got my etrac on Wednesday and went out all day Saturday and Sunday.. I'd been using an ace 400 before. man was the etrac hard to understand for me.. the ace 400 is bing bing when something good. while tye etrac sounds are all over the board.. i think i had the sensitivity to high first of all..made the Andy S pattern from your video and found very little with the multi conduct on then changed to 2 tone faris and found three coins including a buffalo nickel right away.. any advise? It's fairly rust ground around during here.. thanks.. really enjoy your videos and tutoring!

[@mesalaney7282]

Thank you sir.. I'll check into it!.. I did also like ferris better but I'm new to etrac.

[@cutaplug]

If you're just starting out I would honestly run it in coin mode for a while till you get used to the signals. TTF is good if you like to dig a lot of lower conductive signals too. But even if the screen is opened up in TTF it will give falsing. As far as the settings I run it's a pretty open screen and if you run high sensitivity too it will be too much for a beginner. I would stick to stock coin mode and over time start to open up the screen more and increase sensitivity as you learn the machine. Auto+3 is a great place to start for sensitivity. GL and HH!

[@mesalaney7282]

Thanks sir! I will take your advise.

[@mesalaney7282]

Hey cut a plug.. so I'm learning the sensitivity and stuck to the stock coin pattern... I found many modern coins , 7 wheat cents and 2 mercs... thanks a bunch

[@mesalaney7282]

Also after understanding the sensitivity, the multi conduct makes a lot more sense.

[@gjuetaretethesareve]

Hi hunter So beautiful coins

[@zachstahl4122]

I found a 1906s barber half the same day that you published this video. What mint was yours?

[@cutaplug]

That's pretty crazy lol Mine was O mint =)

[@louiegollette747]

what kind of shovel do you have

[@kellybentz8861]

What state do you detect in?? I need someone to detect with

[@andyroberts4089]

Dang! I did not expect the barber half either because it would not pinpoint. Very cool! It's hard to imagine someone loosing one of those back then. I think sometimes alcohol was a contributing factor. 😜

[@cutaplug]

Ya I was wondering where it was cause the depth meter was showing shallow and it gave a great signal. I think I would have found that faster without the pointer lol

[@ps38292]

your pinpointer is toast

[@tennesseegem1063]

Good finds. I live in the same town you live in I believe. It starts with a K. Maybe we can get together sometime.

[@cutaplug]

I don't live there but I live close I think. I haven't hunted too much lately but once I finish up some projects I've been working on I'll probably get out more. I think they have a club up there right? Been here 2 years and still haven't been to the local club believe it or not =)

[@tennesseegem1063]

Cutaplug Metal Detecting I don't know of any clubs here but I've only been doing this for a year. I've hunted with JD and that's how I found you. I'm in the same city as JD. Yeah when ever you have some free time maybe we can get together. Take care and HH.

[@joebrown1382]

New sub. I caught another 2015 video [insane dig] where you guys were slaying the silver so I thought I'd sub ya. Can't believe how many silvers were in that yard. Sewn like seed. This dig a Barber half!! GL-HH

[@cutaplug]

haha ya that was just a crazy place and we were both dumbfounded. It was a day I'll never forget for sure =) GH and HH!

[@rsarge1353]

that is awesome wtg

[@cutaplug]

Thanks Roger!

[@rsarge1353]

I'd be over the moon with that find, around here were happy to find a merc or wheat penny LOL, last big silver I found was a burnt up Morgan dollar, finds around here are getting scarce wtg

[@kentuckydirtdiggers6983]

Congrats on that Barbie! 👍🏽 HH - KDD

[@cutaplug]

Thanks Kdd HH to you too!

[@kingpotatoman9180]

I think you need a new pin pointer

[@cutaplug]

Agreed =)

[@hholdtheline]

I have the same false-ING with my pro pointer, looking to buy one now.

[@hholdtheline]

Please let us know when you do a video on what pointer you buy Rusty.

[@cutaplug]

Will do =)

[@SW2DGaming]

congrats on the coins

[@cutaplug]

Thanks Keith!

[@waynegrant3283]

taking your camera off the hole during a dig, dows not qualify as a live dig!!!

[@rustycraig3536]

I guess you'll just have to use your imagination lol Trust me if I was gonna fake a barber half dig I would have done it YEARS ago it's been eluding me forever =)
