I got permissions to go back into an old smelter site in Thursday. Pulled out a 1943 merc and a 50th golden anny token from asarco smelter. On the way home I past a street tear out in downtown EPT. I was there early this am to get in an undisturbed hunt. My first two digs were a 1950 time and a 1942 quarter. Some of the ground was fair to dig and some was just as tough as steel. After the first 2 digs it slowed way down for the next 3 hours then bam. A 1914 d barber dime. It's was a 3 silver Saturday dig. I'll take it. Enjoy the pics. Gonna try and go back tomorrow hit a different part of the tear out. They were working on it today. Thanks for looking.
