Well....let me say, what a day, I am exhausted....11.5hrs in the field digging, but it was worth every second.
Headed up to my friend Bruce's place this a.m. around 5 and we headed for "the spot" right after conducting some actual work business first. Jeff of PA and TexJim showed up a bit later...ok a lot later, LOL...sorry guys!
Anyway, my day started slow but less than an hr in Bruce came over smiling big and said, "I could go home happy now" and held out two halves, one a 1968. Things went smooth from there, coins coming up all over, a 1939 Wheat and finally my first silver coin, a 1941 Mercury Dime. Next a 1974 Canadian quarter, my first. So, after a long day, my total was $5.77 in Clad, 114 coins overall. So after getting back to my truck, I decided to make one more stop on the way home at a friends house who's yard i've done before....within a minute I pull up a 1906 Barber Quarter, my first barber
Now, I get home thinking I had a great day and start getting my coins ready for the pics below when I notice one of my pennies is an indian!!! At one point i was pulling pennies up so fast that I was just quickly pocketing them and moving on....so i musta missed it! Anyway, it is a 1904, my second of that date from the same spot. All in all, my best day out thus far.
