My first finds post!

[BURLIVES]

Have enjoyed reading these posts for quite sometime. It's my fix when I can't get out. Have found the usual silver coins, wheats, buffs etc nothing to motivate me to post until this. Just got a new camera so what the heck. A couple weeks ago was out hunting an old boarding house that we've done a few times. Decided to take a walk into the adjoining field off the side yard, my buddy walks right to a 42 Washington and a 45 P war nickle....nothing else. We go back into the main yard and pop out a couple injuns and a few wheats. I decide to hit the adjoining yard one more time, this time closer to the road. All of a sudden wham, a great hit 5 inches down and out pops this!.....
1906-S!





There is still something in the hole...and out comes another....an 1894!





First time in 32 years 2 Barber Halfs in a hole.

Thanks guys, haven't had a half in a couple of years, a Barber in over 3. Was quite a surprise. It was so cool to recheck the hole after the first one was out and then hear the detector go off again. Thats 16 Barber halfs in 32 years.... might be a long time before I hit another, glad too that I didn't scratch em', happens alot when there is more than one in a hole.!

Glad you decided to post those finds! 1 Barber half is rare enough, but 2 in the same hole is something special
Awesome condition too! Nice job on the recovery
Keep that camera handy & keep posting

The 06-S is my nicest one yet, found a 15-D in Vf years ago but scraped the front and ruined it. Kinda like gettin' the monkey off your back, now I can look at the 06-S and smile . My friend I hunt with found an XF 45+ 1913 a couple years back and dirt scratched it. Just when you think you'll never find another half it happens. Never knowing what to expect makes this the best hobby!

two big sweet silvers, congrats !!!!!

You might be the first person ever to find two barber halves in one hole!

Barber halves are extremely hard to find ( at least here in northern Calif>) So two in one hole is pretty spectacular! Way to go!

 

[BURLIVES]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe someone found 3 Barbers in a siver spill a couple of weeks ago. 20 some silvers in one hole.
