    Finally. . .

    It was a relief on Sunday to get back in the swing of things and
    start finding the old. . . even if they were only 4 Wheat's from the '20's.

    In previous hunts at this site, I felt there was still hope in finding that
    elusive first silver of the year. During the past few days, through 7" of
    snow, on "all metal", I scored some non-ferrous trinkets that included
    several harmonica reeds, some horse tack, and a crotal bell. I knew
    that I was in the right place and it would be only a matter of time before
    I would find my first silver of the year.

    Finally. . .-dsc_1351.jpg

    Little did I know it would be at at Starbucks! A '64 Rosie in change while
    on the phone with Kimsdad. . . asking me if I wanted to hunt
    So, does that count?

    Probably not. So today I went back to this site and found my first LEGIT
    silver. . . a 1903 Barber dime

    Finally. . .-dsc_1352.jpg

    Happy hunting!

    Great job on the Barber and the wheats! Looks like rain this weekend, probably rain next weekend too with my luck. Looks like my next hunt won't be til April at this rate! Shucks.
