1900 Barber makes #116, and some other silver and IHP's.

Life's obligations have me muddled down pretty much all of the time. I'm lucky if I can pry myself free for 10 minutes lately. It stinks because I really need time to hit my colonial spots and can't. But alas the silver keeps my sanity. The problem is it ain't going to get better for a while...

Pictures are for four hunts worth of finds, or about an hour and fifteen minutes total. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1433686500.069537.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1433686534.188448.jpg The 1865 is my third for the year!

I found a few more beat up Indians, buffs, and V-nicks but they're shot and you can't see anything in pics.

The 1900 barber makes #116 silver coin for the year.

Enjoy, and find some for me guys! Lol

Steve

Great finds for a few short hunts, I've sold my etrac and have taken up knitting :laughing7:

Can't get out to save my life and when I do can't score permission as easily as last year

I know what you're saying Chris. Permissions are difficult at times. I became friends with a couple I asked permission from. They never said yes but I'm dying to ask. Maybe I'll get them liquored up and then ask. Lol

Your hour and fifteen minutes beats the majority of my finds. Congrats nice finds!

I know what you mean by limited hunt time.

Something will come along that will work out for you, hang in there!

Oh yeah, agreed. I'm really complaining about no time, not the finds. There's something nice about a hunt where obligations and time aren't hovering over you. It's hard to do your best when you hear tick-tock-tick-tock!

Nice finds, that is one nice looking Barber dime! I know what you mean about life's obligations, wish I had more free time to hunt. Hang in there and get out when you can. HH

Have you thought that maybe leaving OD in the car while you go knock alone might help. Knit one pearl two.

Great finds for 75 mins. worth of swinging and to think with these finds it only gives you 116 silver coins for the year.
With limited time to hunt your still killing it!! Hope you get a rain day from your schedule and can get a little more time hunting.
