    1.5 hours...3 Silvers = $1.00 sum in silver coins.

    SeatedSr. wanted to get out somewhere close for a little bit because we both had to be on call as witnesses for my house burglary.

    We decided to go back to the "backyard"

    Within a few minutes, I had a 6-49/7-50/ reading just under the surface. I walked past it thinking it would be a can or something. I walked about ten feet away, and said f@#k it...the big silver bracelet I found had the same reading. I went back, found the signal and about 2" deep I dug out the 1896 Barber Half. I actually first thought someone was playing a joke, because with the dirt on it and being pretty worn, I thought it was a giant washer.

    About 1.5 feet away towards the woods, I got a breaky signal coming from the nulling, but would pop up to 12-46/47....Like a rusty square nail would do. First I found a rusty bottle cap, and just to the side of it I saw the silver edge and saw it was big. That was to be the 1901 Barber Q. (Under 3")

    About 3 inches away from the BQ, Another breaky,iffy signal. Well, If I just dug a Barber Q, and the signal is the same....why not. Out poopped this beautifull 1929 SLQ.

    Short hunt with booty to take home. Gotta love this hobby! Still a lot more area to cover.

    Thanks. Definately makes up for Sunday. I just can't believe all we found was dimes on Sunday, and not a single dime for me today....Dad got a Merc, but that's it.

    I opened my phone and saw I had a message, and when I opened the pic you sent, my jaw almost hit the floor!!!

    It hurts when you step on your own tongue!

    My goodness, man!!! You might as well take the rest of the week off, because you're not going to top that hunt. Now that I said that, let me say that what I just said is all BS, because I know that today's finds are only going to fan the flames and get you out there more!

    Congrats on an amazing day!!!

    Your Pops had to be so envious!

    God bless our veterans! Thank you for your sacrifices!
