    Another Hunt with Tony and Noah. Good Times!!

    Noah and I met up with Tony yesterday at a town he suggested to us. Our very first house gave us a yes and then his next door neighbor invited us to do his yard and then his next door neighbor said yes as well. Three houses in a row and coins came out of each one. ( Tony, you're picking the towns for now on )
    Tony and Tim both out detected me, but I never do well in the heat. It seemed that I was always the first one back to the car and the AC.
    I did manage a couple in the morning, one in the afternoon and then a couple more at the last house as it started cooling off a little.
    I can't wait to get back there when it cools down a bit!!

    My finds for the day:

    That 1894 Barber Quarter is a terrific find, Don! That yard was amazing for you and Tim. You don't know how many times I drove past that house in the past and drooled over that huge front yard with the curved sidewalks. Now I know what was there!

    That 1896 Indian Head was brand new when it was dropped! Full Liberty and four diamonds on the ribbon.

    I am so glad that town paid off for us. Some of the other ones I've picked have been losers.

    I'm happy that you ended the day on a high note!
    Lifetime totals:
    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves

    Great finds Don! Looks like the soil there was rough on the copper coins though. I'm guessing yard fertilizer for many years? I don't like detecting in the heat either! Happy digging!
