Well its about time a half showed up under my coil, ok lemme get to the story first:

ok so today I had plans on hitting the turnpike south to a town called Quakertown, 20150625_091618.jpgI wanted to secure a permission in the worst way, I hit 3 ideal homes, 2 no one was home at, and the 3rd was a renter, sweet lady though, just couldn't grant permission, I decided "heck with this" and traveled 45 minutes south to the location where I got my French colonial copper the other day, easy public place that is just insane with history. So right away I picked up where I left off the other day and nailed wheat after wheat, I thought ok cool, lets get to the silver!, 5 wheats in, that's exactly what happened, 1910 barber dime!!:headbang:1 barber a.jpg1barber b.jpg so now im in the mindset, calm cool, collect, slow with the swing and 5-6 wheats later, bam another 1910 barber dime DUAL barber dimes of the same year!, barber 2.jpgthe thing about this place is a lot of targets give weird VDIs, not what youd be used to, so I tried another section of the site and hit a clad dime, stood up, rescanned, and clear as day, loud 11-46 at 6-7 inches out pops the 1831 Largie!!!:headbang: 20150625_143324-1.jpgI had to text everyone the pics of course!:tongue3: after the largie I decided to make a slow march towards my car, and back to my first section I get a nice tone, out pops a 54 roosie, I thought cool, lets see the merc for the silver trifecta, sadly that didn't happen, but what happened next kind of obliterated that stupid trifecta. I got a weird 1-50, 7-48, 7-49 tone bouncing back and forth, and thought hmm, probly a can, it was 5-6 inches down and I dug under some roots, popped up dirt in my shovel and there she sat......1904S barber half!!!:headbang::headbang: MY FIRST SILVER HALF!!! 20150625_152501.jpg20150625_152458.jpgI had no idea I was digging a great target, thought I had junk!, unfortunately I scraped the front by the date pretty good but I could care less,20150625_153546.jpg20150625_153534.jpg I got my first half and am super pumped!!! after the reveal I called George to tell him and called it a day,20150625_153525.jpg20150625_192200.jpg20150625_192131.jpg20150625_191406-1.jpg what a freakin good 3 out of 4 past days I had, couldn't be happier, thanks for reading the novel guys, hope you all can get out and swing that coil!!

I bet your still stoked and spilled some of the wine by shaking so much on your 1st sip. Awesome site, great hunt, and outstanding finds :occasion14:
 

LOL thanks tyler but that's terrible!! lol, I asked him on a date last night, he said yes, im so excited lol!!!

what should I wear?

I don't know but I think he deserves a picnic at Vino's pond or at the very least at the school house. I know he's been lonely since you have been out hoin around with George. He won't stop pming me about it. So glad you've asked him out lol
And BTW did you stop and borrow Vino's CTX for this hunt too?
 

That's a great site, & congrats on your first Half. You worked your way right to the top by digging a Barber for the first one. Good thing you had red wine for the victory. Its better for your heart in case your next half is a Seated or Capped Bust !

Well since he borrowed your reasearch your location your machine your GREAT FIND its only fitting that you dig the hole. Now if you'll clean his finds you will be a Full Service Treasure Tour Guide. And all of this for Free? And I thought Southern Hospitality was unique. At least he filmed it for you so you can watch it over and over.

Wow! Awesome hunt. I'm trying to think if I ever found that many silvers in one hunt, and the answer is NO! 3 is my max and a freaken barber half and LC takes it over the top. Nice work man.

Congrats on your first half!

Isn't that the same school he killed y'all at? And y'all left all this behind??
 

Congrats on your first half and getting an older one is just better. You've had some great days out on the holidays and now you can enjoy some time with the family.
 

Sweet, great finds buddy! Congrats!
 

Looks like you have found a gold mine of p;aces to hunt. Super haul there.I will have to look harder for a place like you have located.
 

Thanks Tom for taking one for the team and diverting his attention!

Sure thing OD. I do what I can do for the team.

I just watched the video, brings back fond memories for me.
 

Lol its all in good fun, I know your busting chops

Now with that settled are you now ready to discuss your statement that you will be fine with finding mercs after digging your previous Great finds?
