Fast & Furious....

.... well at least that's how the hunt started out. :lol:
I had a whole day to myself Sunday to do a little MDing! So went to an old school site were a lot of dirt has been moved around. I knew it'd been hit hard by a lot of other detectorists. But I ain't scared :eyebrow: :lol:
I turned on the ET and made a few swings and BAM! Shallow penny signal... a wheatie! :thumbsup01: Maybe two steps away.... BAM another shallow penny signal. Only this time....silver baby!! A 1905 Barber dime, less that a inch deep! :shocked04: Then.... a 6 inch deep quarter signal!! You can imagine whats going through the brain at this moment. :drool: :daydream: :drool: All for nothin. A 1976. :hairpulling:

I hunted for around 5 hours. As the day went along I managed a handful more wheats. But no more silver. :disgusted:

Here's the keeper coins for the day.

I would call that a good day. 5 hours of enjoyment, a bunch of Wheats and Old Silver. Even though it's a bit beat up, got to love those old tokens.
Great Job Tim.

Great Job Tim.

Thanks Don. It was a win-win for me. A little, much needed, free time to swing, and a little silver to top it off with.
I wish I would've had your number. Maybe we could've met up. This fall we'll have to make a point to meet up.

Your heart races when you find stuff the first few minutes at a new site. What does the token say? Nice job Tim!

Looks good to me Tim! Congrats on saving those old coins from the ground. What does the token say? Is it one of those soap tokens? HH, Dave.

Finding the Barber took the pressure off of the rest of the hunt :clapping:Apparently none of the other detectorists hit that spot very well now did they?:thinkingabout:I love seeing moved dirt!

:coffeelaugh: I guess they did miss that spot. :lol: They were pretty thorough though. Even the wheaties wee spotty at best. And you are 100% right. Finding that Barber so early in the hunt defiantly took the pressure off :yes: Thanks for the response George. :thumbsup01:

Great hunt!!! Congrats on the dime! :cheering: I was surprised to find an IH about 1" down this summer. Good thing I didn't assume it was a zilcoln and move on! I guess they'd moved some soil because there wasn't any sign of erosion there... Actually my oldest coin 1820 LC was amazingly shallow a couple inches down on top of a huge root that had pushed up through the soil. Now that was cool :shocked02:
