    Decisions, decisions. . .

    It was already 10:00AM, the sun was in full bloom, and I still hadn't
    decided where I wanted to hunt. Should I go East or West. . . I went
    West. (a good decision )

    Before I left home, I gave Kimsdad a call to let him know I was going
    to hunt some uncharted woods and was hoping that he could join the hunt.
    About 45 minutes later. . . just after I dug a 1918 Wheat. . . he called to let
    me know he was there and was going to check out another spot that
    wasn't too far from where I was hunting. We agreed that if either of us
    found anything where we were at, we'd let the other person know.
    Well, 3-minutes later, I struck silver. . . a 1902 Barber Dime. . . so I
    called Neil to let him know this might be a good spot.

    A few minutes later, Neil arrived as I was digging another target which
    turned out to be my second Barber Dime. . . a 1916-S. After I re-scanned
    the hole, I got a second target which was a 1915-D Wheat.

    For the next 1-1/2 hours, it was fairly quiet except for a few more Wheat's
    from the 1940's then, as I was about ready to call the hunt, I got another sweet
    signal which turned out to be my 3rd Barber Dime of the day, an 1896-O.

    I must say, it was a pleasant drive home

    (Neil, thanks again for taking the "insitu" photos )

    Thanks for looking!

    What a day you had!!!

    Three Barbers, and one is a semi-key! $80 in G4!

    It was great to see you hauling them in! I never thought I'd be bored digging Rosies until today!

    We definitely have to return to Barber Bluff!
    God bless our veterans! Thank you for your sacrifices!
