With Holidays and work I have not got out in over a week so made the point of going out before work on Friday and spending most of Saturday in the field. Friday resulted in 3 silver and 4 wheats in a Park I would of been happy to find 1 wheatie. Nice to be surprised going in with low expectations. Saturday I wanted to road trip but a storm was passing through and I did not feel like driving in the rain. I ended up at the spot I found the barber Half a while back and actually was hoping to find a Barber dime. I did and it was a gem. A 1907 "O" that is really nice. Ironically, I found probably the most wore Merc I ever found as well. Ended the day with 3 Mercs and the Barber along with 4 more wheats. On the day I dug 103 coins and over $11 in clad so I was beat when I finally quit. I also found 4 silver trinkets with the oddball being a buckle of sorts saying "German silver" on back. The tone and numbers tell me this is NOT silver, but a neat find none the less. Also, found my 2nd Pocket watch of the season but it was a cheapie so I did not take a photo. Keep swinging Wisconsin Digger Included a few field pictures as I have never taken the camera along before.

Very nice, that Barber really is sweet looking! Congrats on a great hunt. Just wish the rain would let up long enough to stop digging mud.
