I started detecting two years ago. Recently I was making a delivery to an old hot springs resort. I noticed the old pictures of the late 1800's rodeo ground they once operated next door. I asked for permission to do a little detecting after work. I didn't find anything at first. I was checking the obvious places hoping for some silver. As I thought of the old pictures I moved over to the old rodeo grounds. All of a sudden I got a good signal. It was a Barber half dollar! I was so excited!! I went over and got my buddy to check it out. He was thrilled. I said lets dig some more. Next we pulled a Morgan silver dollar! Then another Morgan, and finally a second Barber half!! We were so excited. Some poor cowboy probably lost a day of pay. That's all we found there but it was worth it.

I went back and found a 1941 quarter. I still have to go back and do a dumpy hotel their. Riff raff makes me a little nervous. I always get an audience when I detect their.
 
Way to go! That's how you use your head. :) Keep 'em coming, cowboy!
