had a great beginning to the new year! i decided to hunt a strip of woods that i have been researching for quite a while, and came up with a beautyful 1903 barber dime. it looks like it was dropped shortly after it was minted as the condition is great! i also found a 1925 merc at the same site! i wish i could go into detail about the site but i am not finished hunting it,and i dont want to give its location away just yet.(i know there is some compitition in the area that reads the forum!) man im stoked!! this is a great hobby! ;D

thanks for the nice replies! i dont have the technology to post pictures at the moment. :( i have no camera or even a scanner,and even if i did,i probably dont have enough memory on my crappy computer to run them. :'( maybe someday...........anyway, to answer your question, no i havnt sold any of my finds. to be honest i really dont have that many good finds to date to even think about it right now! for now im happy to just collect them.

WTG Hollow! Sounds like your site has potential--the dates on those coins means the area has the ability for some rare dates. May the rest of the year be just as easy. Good luck and HH!
