This coming Saturday I had planned to detect at the town green I had worked this past Tuesday, but with 2 to 4 inches of snow being forecast for Saturday that plan had to be changed; so I hit the green today instead. :yes: It was fun detecting the site, until the temperature began to drop toward the end of the day. :frozen:

Anyway, before the cold drove me from the green I managed to dig up several keepers. In my pouch I had 11 silver coins, two large cents, a bunch of wheat cents and two Indian Head cents. :smitten:

This is my second Barber quarter from the site in as many hunts.

I'm glad to have saved these from the clutches of the ground before the snow makes its way here. :happydance01:

Unfortunately, the soil there isn't kind to coppers. \:[ Still, it is always a pleasure to be able to dig up large cents, and these two are no exception. :yes:

The Indian Head cents too take beating in that soil, as do the wheat cents.

Have a great and safe weekend everyone! I wish you all much success in your hunts. :beerbuddy:

This is a beautiful shot Angel. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: It's nice to see you back to your mega-silver hunts plus a couple of LC's too.
Don't get me wrong... I love finding IH's too. :yes: But a hunt like this would have me happy dancing all the way home. :daydream:

Congrats on digging all these before the snow showed up. Awesome hunt. <:
 
Awesome hunt and pictures Angel . It's great you were able to juggle your time to be able to get out and gather up the nice trophies .
 
:shocked01: :confused: I don't know how you do it Angel! :dontknow: lol
Thats just awesome! You just missed the Triple Tri-fecta by a lone Barber!! 8/ Thats just nuts! :shocked04: lol
But the Barber quarter more than makes up for that!! :yes: thumbsup01
Another one off the charts Angel! |:confused:)
Congrats!! :grin:
 
:wow: :wow: And more :wow:. WTG |:cheering: Excellent hunt. Love those Barbers! :perfect10: Congrats!
 
now THATS the Angel we all know and admire! good job rescuing all those poor defensless silvers from the cold dark ground. You dig silvers like a lot of us dig wheats lol
Good to see you had some detecting time for a change. If you're too busy to hunt...you're TOO BUSY!! rofl
 
ELEVEN SILVERS! :wow:

And a nice variety of them too, not all Mercury Dimes. :yes:

That Barber Quarter is a beauty! Some natural wear on it but otherwise unblemished, and there's just something special about a coin dated 1900. :loveit:

I love the coppers too, even if they look like the ones we find here in central Illinois. lol crying01

Spectacular hunt as always, Angel! I hope to see many more hunts like this from you throughout the year! thumbsup01
 
Angel, you are the man!! |:cheering: Congrats on a great hunt. Are you snowed in now? We are now in a deep freeze 15 * or less and we got 2 inches of snow on Friday. I guess it's time for some research.
 
Thank you for the generous comments everyone! :beerbuddy:

Believe me, I kept braving the rapidly dropping temperature in an attempt to find just one more Barber dime. rofl But the Barber quarter did make up for the missed triple trifecta. :yes:

Thank you Jeff! thumbsup01 We were supposed to get about two or three inches of snow today, but we ended up with just a dusting during the morning hours. :yes: It is getting colder though, with temperatures heading into the low 20's. Your deep freeze and snow has me shivering though. :frozen: lol I hope it warms up soon for you. :yes:
 
Yes, I should comment that about two hours after this hunt I asked him what he found and his first response was I don't remember. lol rofl rofl

Eleven silvers I would remember. A great hunt Angel, and the coppers as well. :perfect10:
