Folks, 
Good day to you guys and ladies (
) on this pretty PA mornin'. At this moment in non-detecting time, I am sitting here thinking about coins. 
Before I could post my thread this morning, since I detected yesterday, I had to carry out my VERY 1st "Honey-Do" list. Frodov, beat this one! <big grin> 
Oh my, Stacia, had one coming to me. She just bombarded me with all of these duties. Check it out for yourself! Well, I am happy to relate that the "chores" are completed and CK is posting on here with a passion.
My story:
Since I had the day off, I thought, "I am going out to Colonial datect." Don in SJ, I love this hobby, dude, and I love you!
I decided to head out to a cornfield that had produced 3 Liberty Cap coppas, 2 Draped Busts, and a Connecticut coppa, so I had HIGH hopes! Within 2 minutes in this area, I got the typical "P" on "Penny" hit that pinpointed at 3.5". Oooohhhhhh, baby, I had another! I flopped the doyt and the target was in the clod. I out popped my Vibra and searched around for the definite coppa. Buuzzzzzzzz.....flipped the target....it was WILVER....Colonial! 
I picked it up and looked at it and saw it was a 1911 Barber dime. 
I, literally, yelled out, "DANG IT!!!" 
Damn that farmer!
I was NOT pumped up about this find, since, dudes, this should have been a "Greenie." You would have felt my pain, if you had gotten the signal as well. I kept sweeping like John Walter and got another "P" on "Penny" hit. This one turned out to be a Colonial belt buckle! Two feet from this, I excavated a Colonial musketball.
The day soon ended after those recoveries.
I just wanted to post the Barber dime for you guys who "like" them. Heck, it is kind of a cute-looking coin.
Keep the passion high, folks!

I can't say I've ever had my duties documented like that. I'd be too tired to detect!
? Most of the time I'm either given explicit orders verbally or I have to play the Amazing Kreskin and GUESS what's on the agenda..er.. Honey-Do list. And Lord help me if I'm wrong! <grin> I swear! Where in the Owner's Manual (How to be a Proper Husband) does it tell us that we have to be mind readers? <laughing>
