Long day but 1 dig made the day!

Spent three hours with Jeff of PA today at a ball field that also has the remnants of a long gone roller skating rink beside it. Wasn't having any luck finding anything old on the ball field so I put my new 8" x 6" SEF coil on the Etrac and wandered over to the old rink. Last trip here with Jeff I found a no date buffalo right beside the rink.

On my way to the rink I hit a couple clad quarters, the first was a 1980 and the second was a 1970....I was thinking "OK...1960 next".
Well the next one went back about 65 years instead of just 10...My second Barber Quarter this week!!

It's a 1905 and it's worn out....but it's mine!! The rest of the day yielded $3.56 in clad and a pigeon band.

Good Luck all and HH!!

Is the pigeon band from the same era as the Partridge Family?

LOL!! Yes, the Partridge family sang "I think I love you".....the Pigeon band sang "I think you shot me"....LOL!!

Dave, pigeon bands are a pain in the butt really. They hit like coins and the depth is always off because of the size...so you're digging a full plug and end up finding this only 1" deep...but it's nice to know the machine can hit the little stuff too!!

Yes Mike....I think I can get used to this machine real quick!!

I found one more thing this morning from yesterday's hunt....don't know how I didn't see it yesterday on my way to the shower...I would really like to know where this thing was hiding. This morning on the way to the shower I see this attached to the side of my left knee....YIKES!!

OK bug experts what kind of tick is this? As you can see, it's spotted and has 8 legs!!

Here's a pic for size comparison;
