Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
Today I woke up early and walked outside dressed for detecting it was so damn hot I walked back inside I took all my clothes off and got back in bed. Oh that lasted about 20 minutes so I got dressed again and was heading toward the French Quarter in New Orleans which is roughly 120 minutes. The place where I found my large cents Was totally in shambles they were working and they didn?t seem like they were planning on quitting anytime soon. So I?m riding home I thought about City Park. Or year and a half ago they told me they changed the rules unless you?re an archaeologists no more Metal Detecting. So I got to the point where I went to my spot that I?ve gotten over 40 3 ringers and 4 dropped 69cal. It?s amazing how those things would go right through a femur. Well after my three ringer I said since I?m out here I?ll do it until they kick me out and then it happened my Barber Quarter which has eluded me for so long. I have many 1907-O Barbara Dimes and a 1907-O Barber Half dollar (which I found at a park in Mississippi and that?s the only thing I found.)And now I have the whole family together a 1907-O
I appreciate you listening to me babble but I?m just so happy Thank you for looking

You recovered those three and all from 1907...beautiful coins...and the civil war bullet display is very cool. Congratulations!
 

A complete set - that's very cool - congrats! :occasion14:
 

I appreciate that pepper it?s getting hard in the summers over here 97 with humidity and I?m talking swamp ass

Nothing like having that feeling of wearing wet teabag shorts after doing something for a few minutes.
I remember working in Houston TX one day and from being from the BC mountains the 98/98 temps were a killer.
It sucked really and having a salt tablet dispenser attached to the water station basically said I was out of my league working in a drilling pipe coating facility.
We get the humidex factor days of 95-100F, but then they only last a few, then a cold front drives them out.
I don't know how you folks live in it, 24/7 month after month Truth.

We?re at 99? and with the humidity it ?feels like?106?. Where experiencing a heat wave over La and Miss. Its sooo thick I was just in Dallas last week and I can handle that dry heat, but this sh$t is hell. You get off the airplane and it?s freezing in the airport and when you?re walking outside and those two doors open up it?s like a wet blanket smacking you in your face?.hard lol
