    Last Few Hunts

    Hitting some spots with Pulltab Steve that I have been researching and got my first Barber, a 1899 quarter. Hit an old farm field that gave up the 1827 large cent. Found the 1957 Washington and junk ring at an old farm house after getting permission from the owner. Found the French coin (aluminum) at a woods site. Getting out with Steve has become a week-end ritual and I always look forward to the goodies coming out of the ground Happy Hunting all

    Love the Barber and I always like seeing the silver Washingtons come up... but the LC is awesome.
    I'd love to be able to find more of those in my area.
