A quick 30 min hunt here got me my first silver of the year. Haven't been out much, so this was a welcome sight for my silver deprived eyes!

A Barber to boot. Way to take advantage of a situation. Hope you get out a little more. I got out yesterday and the heat kinda kicked my but. Heat great for swimming not so great for detecting. Nice hunt. WD

Nice finds. The only tearout I saw recently in my town I was too late. It was already redone with new concrete. Those tearouts seem to have some good finds.
Love tear outs, you did great!

Congrats on the Barber & Indian. I always come across tear outs after they've poured the concrete.
