After finishing my cheese project, I realized that I had one last chance in a long time to hunt the area that I had found the barbers last sunday. There was a few showers, but that didn't stop me from a nice thourough hunt at the cliff. I became quickly excited, because my first pull was a 1911 barber. I started to grid the area and hunt slower to find anything i had missed. I found some large and heavy pieces of iron, which always seem to confuse the dfx when they're rusted and deep. I found lots of pulltabs again, even though I thought i got them all last time, there was still more. I found two more Indian pennies, as well as 4 memorial pennies. There was even 2 Victorian Canadian dimes! 1881H (barely) and one no date. After finding these, I figured there must be a seated dime here somewhere, and when I started to head back, I got a very shallow "high" dime reading. I removed the soil and found a 1891 seated dime, just half an inch in the ground.
I'm still amazed that all the coins (old and new) are shallow. I guess I have to thank the rocky soil for this. I'm also wondering why i'm finding no middle aged coins(one 1944 wheat the exception), but I was told that the priests at the monastery swore to poverty. This place probably was a grove back then, considering the clam shells and glass bits around Here's the other coins and landscape pics!
