    Silver and a new friend

    I returned to the spot that I found the 2 Mercs from my last post and was rewarded with two good finds. The first was a 1909 Barber Quarter and the second was a 1903-O Barber dime. I also found 5 wheats the oldest was 1911 and 2 bells that still ring. You will have to watch the video if you want to see my new friend.

    Im sorry to say this was the last hunt for the Vision/V3. I boxed it up and sent it in for the V3i update. I will be too busy for hunting the next few weeks, so I figured why not. I have more than enough clad to cover the $125 charge.
