Been hunting a nearby street tear out over the last two days and I have to say they have produced the most goodies since I started hunting a year ago! Got to hunt with my buddy PlzBSeated tonight which is always a good time! And, just like the You Tube videos I've seen over and over again, PBS let me do the honor of a reveal...AWESOME!!! Must do more! Anyway, enough with the formalities. I had two firsts during my hunt: my first and second Barber dime and my first V nickel! Uber excited about that! So here some pics and then the total breakdown. Thanks for checking them out and always love to hear any info about anything I post! HH!!

Congrats on the 2 Sweet coins. It's always nice to scratch a couple off the bucket list, :occasion14:That Barber has some meat to it. The V nickle still evades my coil.

It's so funny, I've found buff's and 3 shield nickels, but I couldn't get my coil to locate a V to save my life...until tonight! I understand the frustration!

Cjon455, it's funny cuz that's the 3rd shield I've found in a year! It's become more common than a V or buffalo! Lol Weird!

very tough to find one with a date, its such a small date and the area its in makes it prone to get worn off

Cjon455, you are definitely correct on that one! This one's date was a tough one to see. Had to look with side light and then even took a pic and enlarged it just to make sure I wasn't seeing a digit wrong. I'm shocked the buff had a date, and really visible at that!

What an incredible hunt!! That 1871 Indian is worth some nice money and the 1892 Barber dime in that condition is also- congrats!! Hope they keep tearing up the streets and you keep making finds like that!
