Semester is over! Let life begin!! Barber quarter; 5 silver day

Nate in Ohio · May 15, 2009

Until I start painting full time on Monday, that is. ::)

Oh well summer's always awesome. Today me and Mirage headed out to a park that we've recently discovered that has been producing pretty well for around here. A few weeks ago Mirage found a walker with a few other silver in the same hole in this area. Well today I found a spill of a merc, a roosie, and the washington in the same hole. That was pretty neat. Then not long after, I dug and plucked a wheat from my plug and looked in the hole to see another wheat sitting there. I chopped the dirt around a bit and got another few wheats, and then the 1939 nickel, then a few MORE wheats, and i hear one more signal in there with my probe, and by now I know to expect it to be another wheat ::)

but avast it was merc 8).

Then we were trying to locate another site, but on the way we spotted an old abandoned school which we investigated for a few minutes. Only a little surface clad; it was prolly hit at some point. So we moved on and found one of the places Mirage was looking for. Started finding a few wheats; three were from the same spill. After a few more minutes, got a banging hit at only maybe 4 inches...turned out to be the barber. NICE. Was NOT expecting that. Only spent about 20 minutes here...so there's a nice new spot to in mind.

And I'll throw these pics up too. I killed an hour yesterday at the local hammered park (THE hammered park in this area, lol) and first target was the sterling silver thimble. It's pretty neat looking; has a few marks/initials on it.

Arite take care yall 8)

Nate,
Glad to see you and Old Bob got out to detect. I started thinking he was retired and just sitting around polishing his moon rocks. :tongue3:

Congrats on the finds buddy. Keep busy detecting and stay out of trouble while you are out. I still remember when you were just starting college. Time flies.
Have a great weekend,
MM

Thanks MM; I will. It does fly. It seems like the years go by faster and faster the older I get. It's exciting but sometimes it's a little too fast.

Appreciate the comments guys.

By the way that stinks to be in school for so long; at least it'd seem like eternity over here, with all of my friends getting out a week before I did. I hope it ends well for you. At least you have a fun summer ahead of you!

And thanks Bob S! 8)
