Dug my 50th Injun this year, and a Blazing Barber dime

Goes4ever · Nov 15, 2009

today Brad and I were hunting a field and not finding anything, and I saw an old farm across the road. I told Brad I was going to go knock on the door and ask if we could hunt his yard.

The guy answered, I ask him and he said sure, but you will not find anything, because I detect and I have cleaned this yard out.....lol :laughing7:

I love when they say that, to me that is a challenge!.......anyhow, I found a couple wheats, then an injun, my #49 for the season, I knew I needed one more to hit my last goal I set for the year, 5 minutes later, I got a scratchy penny signal, and it turned out to be an Injun....#50 for the season...YES!!!! all 3 goals met for the year, wooHOOO!!! :thumbsup:

couple minutes later I dug a real nice 1914-D barber dime, and got a few more wheats to end the day.

Not going to find anything....I keep hearing him saying that in my mind!!!

I guess he doesn't use a MINELAB!!!! :laughing7:

Way to go, that was a terrific hunt! Just wondered--did the homeowner ever find out about your success?

thanks Steve, it does make u feel good to find something in a place like that. Even cooler to go over an area your detecting partner just went over and find something they missed....lol

Gorgeous coins, G4E. All the better to dig them from a hunted out site :icon_thumright:

There may be more stuff there still. I often wonder how many of those "nail" signals are really just very deep coins on edge.
