    Very Good Hunt - - Wide Variety

    I didn't get home from work until 6pm tonight so I rushed out the door, where to go, where to go. Headed to my grove that I have permission at and she was not home drat. Okay, headed to a park right down the street and the little leaguers had taken it all over, double drat. Where to go, where to go. Okay last resort, back to the house that has always produced. It did not disappoint. After a few adjustments on the V3i as it was pretty chatty, I got it calmed down and then the fun began. Here's the keepers: 1901 O Barber quarter(2nd this year) 1964 rosie, 1889 and 1899 IH's, 1935 buff and 5 wheats, 1910,1919,1923,1937 and 1945.

    When I dug the Barber it did not ring up as silver and I was quite surprised to see it in the hole. Once it was safely in my pouch I put the GPP back in and there was another coin, an IH, which I am assuming skewed the VDI #'s.

    Oh, I haven't even gotten to the back yard yet...............

    Thanks for reading

    Thanks Tony, I can't see to save my life and I don't wear glasses while detecting so all the dates are a mystery until I get home. Can't wait to go back
