Silver dime trifecta, Plus silver quarters, wheats, musketball, relics!

[cjon455]

Headed down south today again, this time I had my 14 yr old son with me, met up with OldDude nice and early and headed for the old school with intentions on trying to get a permission along the way, im not real familiar with the area so I felt like we were wasting time and we decided to just head for the school. worked the school for about 2.5 hrs and managed a few good finds. First and 3rd targets were the 1917 and 41 mercs, plus a cool musket ball, the neat decorative cap thing that's all brass,(feel free to chime in if anyone knows what it is) plus a small buckle and about 2 bucks in clad. It slowed down a lot so we headed for home with the intention of trying to get permission somewhere. Dave spotted a nice house built 1877 so I pulled in to ask, no one home but as I was pulling away I noticed an older gentleman starting to cut the grass so I approached him and he was very receptive, said sure go ahead. First good target there was the 1903 barber dime, very thin and worn but that's ok ill take it!!, also managed a few wheats before pulling the sweet SLQ w/o a date!!! 2nd slq this year, a few wheats later popped the 46 roosie to complete the dime trifecta, second time I did that this year! Finally I went around to the front of the house where there was a neat old water pump and got a nice 12-46 at about 5 inches and popped the 54 Washington, finally got a Washington quarter this year!!!, we headed home shortly after that.

Today was freakin awesome cause I actually spent the entire day with my 14 yr old which we all know isn't too easy once they hit that age. Thanks for looking and HH!!! Also HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TOMORROW EVERYONE!!!

Great finds Chris. I know there is a pond or two in that area that gives up some goodies too.

Oh yes I know but with his newfound fame as a YouTube star and the likelihood that he will soon be too busy signing autographs and won't have time to hunt maybe he will pass it on.

[Old Dude]

I am going to have to start charging for being your good luck charm for those Barbers. This is what...4th hunt in a row that you've gotten a Barber dime? Best part of the day was the fact that Christopher did NOT find a silver nickel lol. Thanks for the day and have a good time tomorrow with the family.

Hey Chris great hunt today!!!
That musket ball, Them kids in the 50s must have had a drive by?
That brass piece, can We see the back? It looks like a butt cap of a flint lock pistol. If it is I bet its French and would go with the coin you found last week..
Awsome!!!
