Metal Detecting
I started the day with low humidity so I got dressed and after 26 hunts with nothing I decided to door knock for the first time. When you’re on a ledge and have nothing to lose you jump. The first was a turndown, the second was a turndown but I realized I was still alive. Then I got a tip from a guy who said he owned so property that had a Indian traded post that never been detected and although he doesn’t metal detect he’s found tons of arrowheads and there where shell mounds and he liked my filthy MEGA hat so I could have at it. So off I went but the brush was to thick and the horseflies where attacking, so I decided to go back prepared it also next to a huge Lake Ponchatrain. So I retreated and went to a small area that I haven’t found anything in a year but it a mile from my house. Horrible signal but it was deep with a very occasional 26/27 showing but just one way. There she was 1907 O Barber Dime!!! Never give up. IMG_2604.webpIMG_2605.webpIMG_2606.webpIMG_0012.webpIMG_0012.webp

And then my truck broke down in my driveway spewing fluid all over the place. IT DON’T STOP!!! Lol

But I got my Barber Dime :-)

Silver makes it all better......look at this way. You made it home and not stuck in the middle of nowhere! :icon_thumleft:
Sweet dime as well!
 
Yes, it's all in how you look at it. I'd be grateful it broke down at home too. Mine was always 15-25 miles away! It's been over 2 years since I last found silver. You haven't had a drought!

Old Dude you are incredible! And better news my mechanic shop is only one block away. The Lord is good
 
Grats on Barber Street, get the truck fixed, and get out there and get more silver!
 
As much as I love the Maga hat’s, I would not wear one while doorknocking
 
Way to go T! Always nice to get a silver and that's not a chintzy 64 Rosie either. Love it. Keep after it!!
 
Sweet Barber, a very nice drink for a long drought! :occasion14:
 
That dime is a beauty! Isn’t it interesting that you found that in a spot you’ve probably been all over, but hadn’t visited in a year? I’ve had the same thing happen. I’ve been told that objects move, in the ground. Maybe they do!

Around my town you’re a shoe in it’s MAGA country and they see it’s proudly worn everyday. Not to mention if they say no because of my hat I have no problem moving on. But like I say I get compliments at least once a day from someone. IMG_1012.webp
