Finally after after digging the better part of a pound of silver (coins, and sterling) I went walking up an old road threw the woods thats now just a fourwheeler trail. I don't really even know what was there its just close to where i found some of my civil war relics. I saw a place where a trail shot off the main part of the old road up onto a small flat spot with a bunch of small trees and bang, I finally landed my first silver barber coin and only coin of the day. Why the barbers have been so elusive is beyond my understanding, but this week has been my best week of treasure hunting since I started a year and a half ago.

Thanks Everyone.

I hope you are right, that has been the case with a lot of other things in the past with the exception of the V nickle which was one of my very first coin finds. I found it in my first week of detecting and hadn't found a Barber of any kind till now.
