Well, here's my haul. It was Friday so I worked at it for a while, about 2 hours. I also had my pal send me a pic of a seated coin he "lucked" up so I needed to produce;)

Got a duo of Washingtons. A '40 and a '48. They both didn't hide themselves And weren't that deep. Next up was a '45 Merc that was surrounded by rusty bolts. Had to fish about 4 nuts and bolts out of the hole. That was followed by a sharp signal under the rootiest tree I've ever seen. Took a while but out popped a '97 barber. Last was another Merc in a real hidden bouncy signal. Snagged that sucker but right then I realized I needed a cold one pretty bad and went home. #19 for this new permission

I didn't clean the coins much yet, hope ya don't mind!

Happy hunting!

Nice silvers. Your excavation through the roots was worth it for that Barber.

Hey thanks man! Agreed. The roots can make dig tools slip and hit the thing were digging sometimes, so I'm glad it worked out

Another great effort buddy. I'm telling you if you keep pulling those silvers you will hit a key date here sooner later. Just a numbers game....and your numbers are damn impressive
