    2 live digs

    My finds from the last 2 hunts at an old fair grounds. OK here's the story rip and I were detecting at an old fairgrounds in the middle of winter and I got a strong Quarter signal, But the ground was frozen solid so I couldn't dig so I said Id get it in the spring. Well Ive been back a few times looking in the general area for the signal and couldn't find it but today I finally got my coil over the signal .It was a large cent. I also found a few more coins including the Barber quarter. Video # 22 for 2012, Seated & 2 live digs.wmv

    Awesome site you found.

    Your hunts there produced some very nice keepers. Glad the 'too frozen to dig' signal turned out to be a great one.
    I had one of those this year and it ended up being a 1965 quarter at a little over 5. lol

    Had to chuckle when you said Ahh, it's a Barber Quarter. lol Dang those Barbers. 8/

    Fun video too.
