Thanks bro, I really don't snap many pix. These I had to use a screen shot from my vido (man I wish I would of got some pix before I videoed) :tongue3:
 
Nice job, I'm way envious.

Without even the hint of a suggestion that I'm trying to find your secret location, in general are these spots that you know "used to be" something else (via research), or are you just hitting these areas cold, knowing that there probably is not a square inch of land in Chicago that someone has not set foot upon at one time or another?
 
Congrats on the Barber half. May you find many more. The other finds are great too.

Yee haw! Rub them silvers! :-[
 
Sweet digs,thanks for the video. :thumbsup:
 
Well done! I can't believe nobody has mentioned that the half dollar is a scarece date. Not the most valued half, but scarce just the same!!! Also I didn't see that they minted barber dimes in Philly in 1902. The only listings are for O, S, and No Mints. Just curious.
Congratulations BIG TIME!
 
Great video as always !! Man you have a sweet spot in the woods !! Great finds :headbang:

SWEET coin spill brother! I'm glad you got the excitement of digging the rest of coins on video! Awesome the the half was laying just under the surface, but better that there were more surprises in store... And I love the variety at the end. Great St. Patrick's day hunt! ;)
 
It was your turn for the silver finds, great find, better date half. HH
 
Awesome finds Congratulations

My thoughts exactly.. Awsome finds and I would give anything to have a day like that.. but.. carry a small bottle of water to clean those coins or wait until you get them home.. geez.

I have water with me but I choose to check the dates at that moment. You can do whatever you want with your coins as you find them and I will continue to do what I like with mine. :thumbsup:
 
I like the vid , a lot of thrills and enthusiasm . 8) Your coins to caress and fondle as you please :thumbsup: Great hunt and finds TreasureFiend ;D Dawg
 
Luck of the Irish. :icon_thumright: Fantastic hunt!!
