Cool hunt yesterday

[watercolor]

I would of posted this yesterday but it was April 1st. . . I'm sure you understand

I was out at the spot where a lot of us have had great success with Barbers lately and April Fools day
proved to be no exception.

I started hunting in the woods near a paved bike path that looked fairly promising on the 1938 aerials
and one of my first targets was an old Cracker Jack sheep (my first one of that type ) so I
was hopeful that there might be a few old coins in that area as well. My next two targets were a
1903-P Barber Quarter (perfect VDI 86) and a 1939 Wheat.

The rest of my hunt was uneventful except for the usual lead and shotgun shell heads.

Thanks for looking,

Thanks for the comments everyone!

However, I did come pretty close to being a fool when I set down my new
Pro Pointer in a pile of leaves next to a hole that I just finished digging. . . I didn't
realize I was missing it until my next target about 75 feet away. The only
way I found it was by sound. . . it was near a small piece of foil under some leaves
buzzing away. . . there was no way I could have eyeballed it :P

Looking forward to Saturday

Perhaps one of the only cases of trash being beneficial in nature! What luck, eh?

Hey man, that's a great Barber. I am itchin' to get back there. I'm on a little streak with old coins (though last time, I only pulled wheats) and could go for some silver soon.

Meet ya there!
