Mini group hunt today-3 sites, 3 keepers

[litefire56]

Met up with DFW, Lowbatts, Watercolor and Clad today out at Richards old site. It was good to see some old faces and meet some new. I only managed a 26 wheat before we got rained out there, so we split to Tim's Cottonwood Pk.
Once again the rain hit there after only 45 mins or so, and all I had to show for it was my same 26 wheat.
On my way home I decided to stop by the old picnic grove that gave up a nice pocket spill
earlier this year. The mosquito's there were ferocious, and within 10 mins I headed back to
my car to go home.
About 30 more steps to the car I get a nice quarter signal and up came the "Ike" token. The
bloodsuckers were thinning out as this was the edge of the woods, so I decide to stay and swing a bit more. Sure glad I did as my next signal was a perfect dime at 1" on top of a huge tree root.
I scraped the dirt off the root and the 1913 Barber was laying there. I could hardly believe we missed this after hitting this area so many times before.
Hope you guys scored some goodies today!

Great wrap up to a rain-delayed day John!

I haven't been down to that area for about 8-10 years but it sounds like it's calling me back!

Down at the riverside park just south of there I found a string of Kennedys one day in a row about 15 years ago. All clad sad to say.

Nice barber. Not a bad group of finds considering you were dodging raindrops and mosquitos (they really suck this year. Pun intended).

Wow! The barber and token are terrific! I wish I could have hunted with you today, but we had plans with the family. Big BBQ and park day... which was actually pretty fun once we got out there (2.5 hour drive one way).

Congrats on a sweet silver find! I gotta start catching up to you before you pull too far ahead again :-)

Nice way to end the day John with silver. Thanks for the DFX adjustments. Glad you made it up this way to hunt, just wish the weather would have held off longer. HH DFW
