Yesterday Ron, Dave and I made it back down to the construction site we have been working since January. Once again the area produced some keepers for all of us. :clapping:

Strangely the last three times I have hunted here I walked away with a Barber quarter and a Mercury dime. :thinkingabout:
It will be interesting to see if I can find a fourth Barber quarter on my next trip.

The Merc on the right side of the photo I found last weekend on a park hunt cut very short by my allergies. :stretcher:
I had originally cancelled last weekends hunt with Ron because of allergies, but when he called an hour later and said, You were right,
there is silver in this park... I grabbed my gear and met up with him. 8/ lol Sure paid the price for that Merc.

Also found my third silver ring from this site, a small child's ring.

Congrats on all that silver Joe! What a honey hole! :happydance01: :clapping: |:confused:)

Very nice you have regular hunting buddies :yes:

Now wait a minute :confused: A third silver ring? That would be 'triple, triple, triple wild' if you left the last 3 times with a barber qtr, merc and a silver ring lol I take it that's not the case or you would have added that...

Btw that is a very nice ring I think Leyla will love it when she is a little older :)

nice barber and merc's,nice ring too,good hunt.

Thanks JT, I'm still waiting for your next hot spot church. :->



I'd love to find just one. You guys are sooooooooo lucky!

Thank you sir. :) Hang in there, that first Barber Q will show up sooner or later.



Nice silvers, Congrats on a good score. Happy Hunting!!

Thanks, I'm always appreciative when a Barber Q shows up in the dirt. :yes:



Very cool, are you signals deep?

Most of my silver come from the 5-8 inch range. Some have come from less than 1 all the way down to 10 inches.
I can't honestly say that I've dug one from more than 10.



A Barber quarter is tops on my wish list.

Thank you Z. With all the keepers you find... a BQ has got to show up. :yes:



Wheaties... Mercs, 1897 Barber, and a nice ring... SA-WEET DIGS !!

Thank you Paul. Coming from you it's a compliment for sure. :yes:



Now you're going to expect a Barber Quarter every time you hunt there! :yes:

lol ... :embarrassed: Yep, I'm definitely going to try to keep the streak alive. :cheesysmile:



WTG Joe, congrats on the silve. That ring is very nice. |:cheering:

I do like digging silver rings. :smitten:



Nice hunt Joe! Love the ring too. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Thank you Steve. :) I was very happy with my pocketed keepers on this hunt and
even happier with the fact that the 2012 allergy season is behind me. <:



Thanks again for the hunt |:cheering:Joe , great finds

My pleasure friend. :yes: Glad you pulled out some shiny ones too. :clapping:



But it was worth it :yes: lol

lol ... Absolutely and unequivocally yes!! A bunch of sneezes, a couple of itchy eyes and a bit of wheezing is
worth a Merc in my book. :twirlingeyes: lol
Looking forward to our next hunt. :yes:



nice finds on the silvers too bad the ring is broke apart

:clapping: lol Great catch Dennis. I'm not sure if I broke it while cleaning or it was like that when I dug it. :dontknow:
I didn't think anyone would see that. lol



I hear that this year is suspose to be real bad for allergies.

:yes:
Not sure if it was bad or came about 4 weeks early. :stretcher: It definitely caught me off guard. :behave:
Thanks Al. I'm always looking forward to see what you dig up next. :->



(not that I find any :rolleyes: )

Thank you Angie.
You always find some great stuff on your hunts... please start posting it here for us all to admire. :drool: :drool: :drool:



Now wait a minute :confused: A third silver ring? That would be 'triple, triple, triple wild' if you left the last 3 times with a barber qtr, merc and a silver ring lol I take it that's not the case or you would have added that...

Btw that is a very nice ring I think Leyla will love it when she is a little older :)

Nice catch Tana. I have found 3 silver rings here... but only on two hunts. :smitten: I'll do my best to
get one on my next time there. :yes:
Leyla does get to sport a few of my children's silver rings finds. :yes: :clapping: She loves them. :smitten:



Awesome as always Joe !! Great finds !! |:cheering: :beerbuddy:

Thanks Sheik. :) The year is starting off nicely... just like yours. |:confused:)



Nice finds Joe :peace: Congrats on all that silver :perfect10: :perfect10:

Thank you Donna. You are off and running too. :clapping:



Very nice finds! Keep hitting it there, as those construction sites don't last long!

Thanks D. We've been hitting this site since January.
One of those flood plane/FEMA things. :yes:
I sure hope we can get together for a hunt this year. Let me know when you are able to
be in my area. thumbsup01
