Hey guys. I gotta post before thereās no time again and before too many pics pile up (if they havenāt already). Did a bunch of hunting this week; it was so nice. We went on a scouting mission and discovered another good site. I pulled an awesome sports token from 1950. Itās huge. I was 100% sure it was a morgan when I saw it in the dirt lol. Also a pretty neat thimble.
Then it was time for a bit of Berg hunting. Found a barber quarter (still donāt understand how I gashed it) which was awesome and a good amount of wheats. For those that remember my āblind diggingā that I was experimenting with last week, I tried this again, and it did yield results, but not to the magnitude that it did previously and I also cut the time I spent on this very short due to silver showing itself elsewhere. Also a neat button in there, not sure if itās anything worth looking into.
Before I knew it was a barber quarter:
I had a buddy who had a cheap detector and was interested in trying the whole deal out. So I took him to the closest park that had the most clad and he had a good time digging a few coins and seeing what it was all about. I wandered over to an area by some tennis courts out of boredom and was surprised to dig 3 wheats in the area. Also found a hole with about 20 or 30 pennies in it lol. The other 1917 wheat and other clad came from a local pounded park before I met up with him.
Soon I was back at the Berg solo. Found the 4 silver and another IH, this one toasted. I talked to a guy who knew a lot about the area who lived nearby and he told me about how he used to hit the place a while ago and find half cents and large cents, as well as gold coins! Man, you guys thought WE were finding some good stuff hereā¦
Toasted wheats!
We made one more trip and this one was also really nice. Pulled some neat tokens. The octagonal one expired in 1918, so that was a neat old one to find. And the other Boy Scouts token Iāve never seen anywhere beforeā¦itās pretty cool. Also got a silver ring (marked sterling with some sort of star after it, otherwise markless), and a nice 1914 barber dime. The one side has a nice glossy look to it, but the other side is kinda all caked on with something hard; weird. But I didnāt find a barber anything last year, so it felt especially sweet!
So thatās it, now back to classes... ...it was great to take a breather at home and to be able to hunt so much though! 8) Take care guys!
