barber

Whahoooo! I dug my first silver coin on fathers day. I haven't had a chance to download the photos until today. I hunted a permissioned property in Wharton county which is about an hour and a half out of Houston. I had stopped there before with my son to ask permission and did a test run with a...

Went out with my good friend Hi Ho Silver for a half day. We found some really nice coins and relics. Second barber half in one week! Also, an error mercury dime, a semi-key wheat, a burnt seated, and an eagle button. GI

Spent a day and a half detecting and ended up with a large amount of old coins. GI

Here are coins from the last metal detecting trip. Looking forward to posting again. Dates and pictures of coins are posted. I'll clean them up this weekend. G.I.

I first got a nickel signal on the XP Deus at the park. After digging a piece of old tin, I ran the coil over the hole one more time before covering it and that time I got a sweet, silky tone with a VDI of 91 (at 12KHz)! I dug maybe one more inch and found this 1900 Barber dime in great shape...

I have only been at this site for three days and have found a 1904 dime, a 1919 nickel,a 1915 D penny, a 1913 penny, a 1956 D penny, and a 1959 penny. Here is a link to pics of the 1904 Dime, 1919 nickel., and 1915D penny...

NOTE: After taking photos of my 1915D wheat cent I lost it in my house, I know it will probably turn up sometime though. Just a day ago I found my first wheat penny, buffalo nickel, and barber dime (my fist silver coin), all in the same hole. The date of the wheat was 1915 D the date of the...

Went out saturday with a buddy of mine and his wife to hit up his grandmothers yard. She said the house was built in either the 1920's or 1930's. He said he went one time before for just a few minutes before dark and found a couple wheat pennies so we was hopeful and waiting for the nice weather...

UPDATE: Cabin Fever-Coin Fest Got out for a couple days while the weather was warm. Here are the finds. Several indians, silvers, wheats, and two lcs. Posted new pictures of the coins and tokens/misc. No rare dates. However, found 3 1909 wheats.

Last two weekend trips of the year. Looking forward to next year.

I finally have had time to post coins from the past month. Cleaning took forever... Dates of the coins are in the pictures. Four of the seated dimes were found in one park. Enjoy

I got a haircut today: I found this 1898 Barber half while searching through the second to last roll of $250 in string and sons (yellow roll). It was the sole coin found from the batch, and was actually an ender on the bottom side of a roll I had already unraveled :BangHead:(I would have taken...

First of all, how would you react when you see something like this?: I went to one of the many banks in my home area the other day requesting a box of dimes. This was the first time I had requested so much coin from them, and they told me they would call me the following week to let me know...

Always Practice Safe Detecting, You Never Know What You'll Find Went out today with my buddies, Hi-Ho-Silver and the Tone Ranger. We had a great time despite the near 100 degree weather. Found several good coins throughout the day. The dig included several interesting stories. A previous...

I was finally able to get out today for some tecting! The weather kept threatening to dump on me at any moment but it stayed dry. I was born on a Friday the 13th, so it has always been my lucky day and today was no exception.
