My dad and I got to go to a few different spots this weekend. My dad started out friday while I was at school setting his record for silver in a day with 6! The next morning I convinced him to take a road trip, which we came back with my tenth silver of the year, and my dad's first Barber Quarter! Went out on Sunday to a park and my dad found his 12th silver of the weekend, and a couple of indians between us. Also had a TON of nails and iron there, that'll be a tough one to get at and clean up. The indians were on the surface right next to a new gravel parking lot, probably dug up when that was made.

On Saturday, my dad found a rooster with one of the indians that got us goin' and pullin out the silvers!

Totals for the weekend were

14 silvers, a record for us. 48 rosie, 41 43d 45 43 18 26 mercs, 1902 1899 1900 1906 1907(2) barber dimes, all plain; 44 washington, and 98 barber quarter
6 Injuns 1898 1903(2) 1907 1897 and 18?2
1 Buffalo 16s
16 wheats

My dad's quintet of barbers was the quarter, 1900 06 07 07 dimes.

It was nice seeing you guys too! Have you guys been able to get in the woods yet? I think my dad might've asked but I forgot to pay attention

Yeah, we're starting to hit up the woods again. Some spots from last year look to have been cleaned up (thinned out by the park crews) which should result in some more finds due to new access. Undergrowth is still tough in some parts though. Will be posting pics soon on my weekend woods haul. :thumbsup:
