I left the woods today with a pocket full of Barbers!

[prolab69]

Went up to an old school foundation today lost in the woods. This site gave me 2 early 1800s largies less than a week ago. Just a short walk thru the woods past the foundation is a field whare all the coins were found, after digging a bunch of plate steel for an hour I decided to head back to the car when I got a good signal. these were about 5 inches away from each other about 6-7 inches down (just the barbers, not the wheats)
dug out one dime and still had a strong signal so i just went to town with my shovel and dug a crator, piled a heap of dirt in a pile and scanned it, YES! 2 more Barbers came out. I was going through Barber withdrawl before i found these so yes the happy dance soon followed. After about another hour I had some early wheats, 1911, 1917, and a 1910. I want to go back sometime and dig up the 2 privys behind the school foundation also, should find some nice ink wells in there.
heres the foundation in the first pic, and one of the privys in the 2nd.

enjoy the pics

Congrats on the Barbers.

After seeing the last few pocket spill of Barbers coming out of the woods I'm going to have to start hunting in the woods. Maybe this fall....

Something is wrong when the state won't let the public detect yet it will allow a University to dig everything up and lock it away in some vault on its campus........

Nice coins but I only see 3 barbers coins and you state a pocket full of Barbers am I missing something?

You need bigger pockets so you can hold more. LOL
