Late in the day I took a drive to detect at a small site that is located at a nearby town. It is one I had often passed whenever I had been in the area on my way to another location. I had been putting off detecting at the site since it is located on a very busy street, but I was curious to see what may be found there and so decided to ignore the inevitable gawking. lol

Once I was at the small square I noticed that someone had beaten me to it, as there were telltale plugs throughout. >:{ But there had to be something for me to find, so I turned on my machine and began to work. Long story short, after a couple of hours I left the place with a few keepers. :happydance01:

One of the two silver dimes I dug up, a 1905 Barber dime.

The coins the site yielded - two silver dimes, three Indian Head cents, and four wheat cents. The Indian Head cents I found today bring my total for the year to 144, one short of my total of 145 I found during all of last year. :peace:

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
 
I think we all have these places. A place we always say I need to check that place out. or That place looks good.
And this is proof that these places deserve some attention. :yes:
I'm still looking for Barber #1 of the season :drool: :crying02:
Nice finds Angel!
Congrats :grin:
 
You have the most productive hunts. I always look forward to your posts. Congrats on the sweet button, and nice coins!! Happy Hunting!!
 
Great coinage Angel , you've been finding some pretty old Merc's with a lot of meat on them (dropped when they were still babies I would guess).Never saw a Naval button quite like that one before , I wonder if it's one of the rarer varieties ? Nice hunt . :cool: thumbsup01 thumbsup01
 
Gotta feel good about digging those beautiful coins after someone had already been there. :clapping:

You better get moving on the IH count though, I'm closing fast....up to a total of 10 since March. I'll be looking at you in my rear view mirror very soon. lol lol lol
 
PLUGS, they don't scare Angel. Nice that you were able to recover those nice coins, nicer that the md'er before you left them. 150 IH's in a year, amazing. Congrats on that hunt
 
Nice all around hunt...a little of this, a little of that :clapping: At least you know the place is old enough for Barbers (Or maybe even that 16D Merc lol)
