Well, Mark & I hit a private yard today, thanks to our good buddy who made it possible! :wink: 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! :icon_pirat:

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!" :o So I filled in my hole and walked ran out front so I could see his shiny prize - nice! :thumbsup:

Well, I start swinging the front, and before I get a few swings in, he's got another silver George! :icon_pirat: 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. :icon_pirat: :o

Naturally I told him to get his @ss up on that porch and take a time out! ;D 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." :-\ ;D Of course, I had to put the curse on it so it turned out to be nothing good. :laughing7:

Right then I decided to play in the nearby mud and got a good signal. It turned out to be an '03 Barber dime :thumbsup: - 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) :icon_scratch: ;D You &^%$#! "OK Mr. three silvers with two being quarters, I get one measly silver dime and I'm a &^%$#?" ;D (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. :thumbsup:

Best part of any hunt.webp

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!!! :wink:
 

Awesome job buddy, I sure would like to get a few of them sweet barbers under my coil!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

CONGRATS ON SOME REALLY NICE BARBERS AND THE GEORGIE!
 

Way to go :thumbsup:
Those are beautiful Barbers -- full liberty. I'd take just one of those any day over all of Mark's finds... I am still waiting on my first 2010 Barber...
 

Come to think of it, I haven't seen a good barber since before Christmas.
Now that I've seen yours, I can forgo the haircut for another 3 months!

Really nice coinage there.

I hope to get something silvery very soon
very very soon...
 

Beautiful!!!
I had a feeling I'd be looking at your silver finds today. Glad you guys had fun!
Mike
