Well, Mark & I hit a private yard today, thanks to our good buddy who made it possible!
We both got there at the same time. He's waiting for no one, though, so he gets the White's fired up and swinging in the front yard before I got all my crap on!
I gave the front yard a few light swings, then headed for the back. After digging a few pieces of junk and a clad or two, a friend who was there but not hunting came up to me and said "Your buddy has a quarter already." "No Shahit!"
So I filled in my hole and walked ran out front so I could see his shiny prize - nice!
Well, I start swinging the front, and before I get a few swings in, he's got another silver George!
Chugging along, I got another stupid buffalo nickel.
Not long after that, Mark is working the base of an old tree and gets a silver Rosie.
Naturally I told him to get his @ss up on that porch and take a time out!
He said "I'll let you hunt the other side of the tree", but then he swung his coil over there on that side and got a signal and finished his sentence with "as soon as I dig this signal."
Of course, I had to put the curse on it so it turned out to be nothing good.
Right then I decided to play in the nearby mud and got a good signal. It turned out to be an '03 Barber dime
- to the tune of nah nah nah nah nah, I just had to churn out "I got a Barber!" He smiled and said jokingly (I think)
You &^%$#! "OK Mr. three silvers with two being quarters, I get one measly silver dime and I'm a &^%$#?"
(Ok, ok, I know I am, but I don't want to admit it!) 8)
A little later on, I managed a '56 George out in the parkway, and I gave him a lash across the backside with my digger for taking so long to appear. 8) My final silver of the day was a '14D Barber.


Both are in pretty nice shape. I also got three large tokens from the local chapter of Grand Royal Arch which is part of Royal Arch Freemasonry, a ship steering wheel pin, the '37 buff and a bunch of wheats.

It was a beautiful day, the digging was easy, the finds were good, and we each got something good and had fun. I hope you all got out today. Thanks for checking out my treasure, and HH!!!
