School Providing Bucket Listers..........

[Chizzy]

Ive been picking at the grounds around a school all year. Not too much at a time because of the dry summer. In early September, I took the next to last pass of a long (70 yard) grassy field the kids use for play. Usually I can pick more than a dollar from one pass. On this pass, however, all I dug was pull tabs, eraser tops, can slaw, bits of kids jewelry.........not one coin!! I got to the other end and had one last signal...........



I happily went home with one dime!! What a dime!! My 1st Barber dime.......1899!!

Today, on short time, I poked around the same area concentrating on the deep, faint, fuzzy signals. These were 2 of the 4 coins I retrieved. The larger is almost certainly a V nickle (my 1st). I'll know more after some cleaning............



Thanks for lookin' in and best of luck to you all................

Congrats on the Barber. That's the way all my nickels come up. I haven't pulled a decent one yet.

Thanks, DigIron. I did manage a couple of decent Buffalo (a '28 and '29) nickles earlier this year. Otherwise, mine are all toasted, too.

Congratulations on those finds. Those are a great start in that area ,keep hunting there.

The wet ground helped with those signals, so yes, I plan on staying on that spot for a while........more rain in the forecast!

Congrats on your first Barber Dime.

The Barber was a shock coming out of that ground...........felt good, though!!

It's taken a while to get to some of my 1st timers, but well worth the wait.........the difficult part is controlling the level of excitement in the field!!
