I had surgery on May 21 to repair a herniated disc in my back. When Digger Don texted me this past Friday to go detecting I decided that I had convalesced enough. :-)
I met Digger Don and Noah at an old courthouse at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday. Finds were few at the courthouse so we started door knocking. I only had about 4 hours before I had to leave so we made the best of it with all of us getting multiple silvers. I had to sit back and watch the other guys dig half dollars though, as none found their way under my coil. Nevertheless is was a fun morning!
Here are all of my coins for the day:
I ended up with 6 silver coins and 12 Wheat Cents:
Here are my non-coin finds:
It was a pleasure finally getting to meet Noah (Tim) and it is always fun detecting with Don!
* In the spirit of full disclosure I must confess that I scratched the obverse of the Barber Dime. It bothered me so much that I photo-shopped the scratch out. So sue me!
