not black-friday, it was SILVER friday!

[Jason in Enid]

I refuse to participate in the crass commercialism known as "black Friday", so I went out detecting instead. Went back to the location where i pulled that immaculate Standing Liberty Quarter. Just like last time, it was a very slow start but it ended great!

I dug a half dozen wheaties, 3 Indian Heads, 5 silver dimes and silver ring set with either garnet or rubies. The greatest find was my very last target. It came in with a VDI jumping from a wheat cent to and IH. When I dug, I saw the edge of silver in the dirt pile. Upon inspection it was a stack of coins. An Indian, a Wheat, and a Barber dime! I would have gotten the full dig recorded but the memory of my PivotHead glasses was full.

That's an awesome Friday Jason! I still have not found a Barber yet, they must be hiding under the concrete up here.

It's averaged in the teens and low 20's here for a few weeks, but the ground is still soft - was out in the a.m. yesterday, 24 degrees.

We had that a couple weeks ago. The air temp never got above freezing for almost a full week, but the ground never froze. I guess because it was so early in the season that the ground was still far too warm.
