Sunday Hunt=Two Barbers, A Slick Shield Nickel, And an Indian Head

[Goldiver]

I hope you all got out to dig something good today. I was able to get out and hunt with Joe Coin, enjoyed the weather and made some nice finds.

I hit a nice area of coins today, I pulled a slick, and I do mean slick no-date Shield nickel, when I dug it I said to myself what the heck? It just looked like a slick plug, until I turned it over and saw part of the shield, then I smiled as it is my first dug Shield in all of my years of hunting . The rest of the coins included a 1908-D Barber dime, a 1911 Barber dime, an 1891 Indian Head penny, a mix of wheaties and clad, a lead sheep, and an antique broach or pin.

All in all I had a great day!

I also included a nice 1907 Indian Head and 1910 Wheatie dug from the same hole on a short previous hunt.

Steve,
You are making Ohio proud. Some nice coins. Congratulations on the Sheild Nickel. I'm still looking for my first. That site produces such nice looking coins. Very cool. 8)

How close to the fence was that Barber? I know I can't get very close with the Explorer(maybe 16").

Thanks, Bob, the dime was within 12 inches of the chain link fence.
