Had a great day
First off wanted to give denverjoe04 a big pat on the back for meeting up with me today to hunt
Joe was the wheat magnet today 
Joe & I met in a little park next to a church and found some clad including a Susan B as well as a cool sterling "Jesus" ring with inside reading a circled c with Bowen SS.
The best part of the whole day was a older home with a very small yard that the owner had tilled up to prep for some new sod/seed. He graciously let us hunt his yard and I stood in amazement watching joe pull wheat after wheat from such a small area. All I had found was some newer clad and a wheat and decided to check out the easement between the sidewalk and the street and got a good $.25 signal about 2-2.5" down and figured it would be a newer quarter and was very surprised when a 1902 Barber pooped out
I was very shocked as it was my first old silver find. As I was fixing my hole I noticed that it looked as if a large juniper had been planted in the spot at one time due to all the old debris in the area as well as a shallow sunken spot. I think the juniper had given the Barber a place to hide over the years until its recent removal and my luck in finding it.
Very good day...
