Area Dirty-0ne coughs up a Silver Finally (It's a Barber!!!)
Hey all,
Hope everyone was able to get out this past weekend and do some playin' in the dirt.
Went out to Area Dirty-One with Greg on Sunday and tried our luck being the rain had came through and saturated the ground. Man it certainly makes a difference when it has moisture in it, but at this particular spot the moles have tunneled it so much, that diggin is fairly easy anyways.
I got a nice solid 46 Con reading on the E-Trac and yelled over to Greg that I was about to pull a nice silver quarter, but he just sat on the tailgate eating his lunch and completely ignoring me. I seen the Eagle side of the coin and carefully plucked it from the plug and skipped happily across the lot to show him what I had found. The quarter still had a clod of dirt on the face of the coin, so we had no idea what it was until I poured some water on it. The dirt clod just floated off revealing what I had found. 1899 Barber Quarter with a scar on her face. Now I know what you're thinking, you scratched it, but I can honestly say and having Greg as my witness that the scratch was there when the dirt floated off of it.
Also pulled a Buffalo nickle just a few feet away from the Barber (1918?), 1945-S War Nickle, and a 1940 Wheatie. Oh and I almost forgot, my first pocket knife. Excuse the photo quality of the assorted finds as it was taken with a cheap camera. Cheap camera= crappy photo's.
Greg got the spankin' this time, but he has pulled some nice coins out of this spot recently.
Photo's include the junk that I dug as well.
