I got another new permission and like most it's been pounded over the years. There's still 3 others searching this same property now. I started off solo then the kid joined me.
I started off finding a couple Indians, buff, v-nickel and a couple wheats. Just before the kids showed up I dug a 1909 barber dime.
After the kid got there we moved to a new area I hadn't hit yet. We started finding a lot of shell casings, wheats and trash.
About an hour later I got a 81-82 hit, the same hit I got the barber dime on. Usually a silver dime rings up at 84?
Anyway, I dig a plug and there lays a 1941 merc. The kid comes over to check it out and 5' away he gets a good silver hit. When he flips a plug he has a small silver spill. He see's a silver quarter laying in the hole, when he picks it out there was a war nickel laying under it. After picking the OD nickel out there was a wheat laying under it.
After the silver finds there was more wheats, trash and little odd and ends.
Then I get another barber, this one a 1907 and in great shape.
Another slow period running into a clad section, I got 12 clad quarters alone. Swinging along the kid hollers over I got gold!!
We were both digging low tones all day and this hit finally paid off, 18k gold pendant.
Some where along the line the kid also dug two v-nickels, 1892 and a 1903.
Not a bad day...

That would be a huge day for me ! Nice Finds .
 

Looks like a great spot! Great finds!
 

Heck of a day!
 

Absolutely killer DS.

Excellent selection of coins. And I like the religious medal too.

Best of luck to you sir!
 

Congrats to you both on a great day
 

Wow, incredible hunt DS! The silvers and IHP's look great!

At first we thought the others were cherry picking? Then we ran into the clad area and that theory went out the window.
I got a dozen clad quarters alone and they were ringing up between 86-89 and they were deep. It's the same area the gold piece came from too.
 

Awesome hunt and spot!
 

I wish my pounded farmyards were that productive! Congrats on a sweet hunt, two Barbers in one hunt is awesome.
 

I love "pounded spots". They have given me some of my best finds. Nice work DS, you're on a roll bud
 

I'd say thats an excellent day, especially for a sight thats been pounded and still being worked by other people.
 

Very nice hunt. I'm sure you walked away from that hunt a very happy person. I sure there's more left for the pickin.

Thanks!! Yes,we were both very pleased after this hunt. I'm sure there's more there and we plan on finding out by pounding it ourselves.
 

Very productive day
Nice
 

Looks like an awesome day.

What machine were you swinging for this hunt?
 

Awesome hunt, and I'm sure there is many more goodies to be found! Hi-Yo Tri Silver! Tt
