Today I went back to the same picnic area where I had two 10 plus silver days last week. The temps were near 90 and the humidity was 300 percent. I hung in there for 4 hours or more and sweated out a few gallons of water. All that aside, it was still a good day of detecting. The area that I've been doing so well in was starting to come up dry, so I started to hunt around for a new hotspot. Heading uphill I found many wheats and then a 1918 merc. I started to work a little tighter pattern at that time. Back and forth I scanned as I slowly climbed uphill. Bam! loud signal 5 inches deep. I thought this might finally be my silver half I'd been looking for. I made my "u " shaped cut and flip the sod back. Re-scan and signal is deeper so out comes the Sunray probe. Pinpoint and flip up some dirt and see that silver flash 
. A well worn almost dateless 1902 Barber quarter is brought to light. Before I fill my holes I always recheck the whole as coin spills are common here. Sure enough, a loud signal still there. I use the Sunray and discover the second target is in the edge of my hole. I remove some dirt and see a second well worn Barber quarter(1905) 
. Curious as to why someone was carrying two worn out Barbers. Maybe they were collected by a kid in the 40's or someone kept them in their pocket as keepsakes, who knows. Another merc later and 3 rosies along with numerous wheats and clads.
