All I found today was stragglers. However some were very nice ones. Not one gold ring today and only one very small silver one. I haven't found a new hot spot yet but I am sure I will in time. I honestly do not know which half I found first. I expected both to be walkers. I was shocked when I went to the truck and noticed one was a Barber. 1904 is the date on that critter. One Washington and seven mercs and two war nickels were the rest of my silver finds.

Three buffalo, a 1928, 36 and 37. Four wheat's oldest is 1927. I found one item I didn't take a picture of. It is a tin. I opened it up and there is a condom in it. LOL I know that thing is old! The can opener is from Fago pop

One more thing I found today that I can get a picture of is a fishing rod and Penn reel. Pretty old I think and the chrome plate is mostly gone off the reel. I also got a pretty old pair of swim goggles with the lenses in them still. i will take them out also and get a picture.

Nice job on the silvers! To be honest with you, I would rather find a Barber half than a gold ring any day. I know some might call me crazy, but it is what it is.

If you have an 'S' mint mark on that baby it's pretty valuable. Congrats on your finds
Great finds Scuba. I'm with Jcache. Love those Barber & Walking Lib Halves.
