Well, they're not Barbers...
...but they'll do! I got the day off today to run some errands but decided to go hunting for a bit earlier on. I hit up one of my regular parks on the north side, and detected a small area I've gone over at least 3 times. Today, I pulled five wheats from this area (the size area we're talking is about the size of a large backyard), 1917, 1917, 1928, 1944, and 1952 D. I have yet to pull one silver coin from this park, and yet I'm always hitting the wheats. Found some clad too.
For my silver fix, I headed over to the camp. I pretty much stuck with the area I've been working lately, alongside that open area where much of the tall grass is dying. I pulled two more silver war nickels, a 1964 Jefferson, and a 1942 wheat. On my way to see the area TreasureFiend found his Barber, I found a ring that appears to be gold-plated. There are some markings I'm not familiar with on the inside, and it is shiney in parts, but I can tell it's not solid gold. Still, my second ring from this camp in a few weeks, pretty cool. Also found a full Boy Scout knife, bullets, foil, nails, etc etc etc.........
I didn't get to detect "quarter hill", because the sky was threatening and I'm not ready to sacrifice the M6. On my way back to the car, a light drizzle began and then it stopped when I got to the car. There in the parking lot was Murph. Unfortunately for him, the rain drenched all hopes for detecting for the day. Hope you can get out soon, man.
Until we meet again...
