We got out this morning on a permission that I got last week. We only got to do the field because the house site was beyond overgrown. We will hit that in the spring before everything grows again. Needless to say, I am not disappointed. First target was the key plate. Second target....1898 Barber Half less an inch down that I knicked with the shovel. The wheatie is a 1917 and the crotal bell is probably one of the fanciest that I have ever dug. Can't wait to go back.

Awesome recoveries. Barber half is a hard one to find and that crotal bell is a really cool! Congrats! You found a great spot.
 

Super great hunt !! My list of "to do's" is about everything you found there...Wow !!
 

Congrats on the big silver and other finds
 

WTG Jay, Big 19th century silver is something you're gonna hold and smile about all night long. A Big-O-Congrats to you Mister.
 

Congrats on your first 1800 silver and what a sweet one it is- great day and here's hoping that site has a lot more to give you!

What a haul! you killed the bucket list with several of those finds. Congrats on the awesome barber half!
 

Excellent finds! Your smile says it all, that silver coin is a real beauty. Great site you have there, congratulations:occasion14:
 

Fancy bell! Great finds I would keep poking away at that property! HH
 

Not sure which find I like the best? I am saying the Ultra Fancy Crotal Bell ranks way up on my cool list!:headbang: I have never seen one with that design pattern before. Of course 1800's silver of the larger variety is always a good find. Nice sight and great digs.:icon_thumright:
 

Spectacular hunt
Very cool bell
 

Fantastic finds! Congrats!
 

Wow! What a score! Congratulations!:occasion14:
 

Really nice finds there! Cool seeing people find the large silvers although I'd like to find one myself!
 

Very nice selection of finds. Congrats.

That Barber half is really sweet.
