I left out around 10 AM, the plan was to door knock. I had the names of the owners for the four properties I had listed. First knock was a YES. :headbang: The owner just wanted to see my finds. My 2nd plug was 2 to 3 minutes into the hunt and produced the Buffalo. :thumbsup: This place is virgin, but with much soil moved over the century. About 1.5 hours in I dug the Rosie with 4 wheats in the same plug. :hello2: Moments later the next plug uncovered the Merc. :icon_thumright: Wheats were everywhere. I ended up digging 20 of them (1916 - 57D). Most of the wheats are from the 50s. Four hours in I got a big high tone, I thought to myself "here's that bucket list barber" and sure enough about 6" down I reached in and pulled the silver half out, and by god it is a Barber. :icon_cheers: How cool is that. 8-) I am only 40% done on the 1st grid. I know where I'll be tomorrow. Maybe an SLQ will show up? :dontknow:

Nice find. My bucket list has shrank significantly since my field permission but the Barber half remains on it. Good luck on the SLQ

Nice job Loco and with the way the weather was today...even better that you got out to knock on some doors. I can't wait to see what else you pull from this yard.

Very nice loco. Funny things come out of our mouths sometimes, like you mentioning the barber before you dug. I said something that actually made no sense before digging a Spanish Cob. I said, "if I don't dig this penny signal I'll never forgive myself", then boom, 1665 cob.

Congrats on the beautiful Barber half. And I won't be the least big surprised if you dig an SLQ considering what I just spoke of...


Cheers
