One of the best days I've had in a long time. My brother Don and I had permission on an old farmhouse. He went on one side and I went on the other. My first hit was a 37 Buffalo. Sweet! A couple minutes later it was a merc. Then I was finding some early wheats. My second pass brought me along side the driveway. Found an early wheat, an Indian,then another Indian,and another. Couple more wheats and then another Indian. We met up in the front of the house and I asked Don if he was finding anything. He said no,so I said you better come over here and hunt this area with me. After that I found the Barber quarter. We took a break and I washed off the merc,the date was 1916! I turned it over there was the mintmark, an S. So close! I ended the day with six Indians an 87,91,04,01 and two 07's,the merc,the 1895 barber,a 46 Washington quarter,ten early wheats including a 1909,no S and no VDB,the Buffalo,a crotal bell,a bent gold plated ring,a button or pin that says "Market Brand" with a picture of a loom or spinning wheel. A token good for one basket.
Don found a junk ring,two mercs,some wheats and what I think is the find of the day,A cool medal that says "U.S. Life Saving Service" on it. http://www.lifesavingservice.org/article_2.html It will be hard to top todays hunt!
Enjoy the pics!
