Hi fellows,
Haven't posted anything in quite awhile as it's been hot and too dry to go detecting. Finally got the wife to retire and we headed east for seventeen days and it was hotter then hot over there also. Thank God the air conditioner was working fine in the trailer. Got back yesterday and finally took a picture of my finds. Started out at the oldest park in this town and it didn't let me down. I got a couple of wheat's first and after about an hour and a half I'm thinking where is the old stuff. Finally got a really nice target and dug my plug. A good eight inches and when I flipped over my plug I saw two silver discs staring back at me and thought my heart was going to stop. I pulled the two coins out of the sod and ended up with a Barber half and a Barber quarter sitting right on top of the half. I think I crapped my shorts as this was a first for me. Filled in my hole and ran my coil over the spot again and about eight inches away I got another signal. Dug another plug and out pops a Barber dime. I'm thinking it was a pocket spill and eight inches away from my first hole is close enough in my book. A trip Barber spill I will remember always for sure.
I went back a few days later and got a 1908 V nickle and a Indian head that I can't find
Went back again in the evening after it cooled off and got a merc and a silver quarter. Dates are 1889 Barber half, 1914 Barber quarter, 1906 Barber dime, 35 merc, 44 quarter, 46, 52 and 53 wheaties, a nice silver ring and a 10kt gold bracelet. They kept the park well watered and it was pretty easy digging and I wasn't too worried about leaving any brown spots from my plugs. It was a great trip and hope to go back again down the road. I also want to check out a couple of old stage coach stops I found out about one of these days. Thanks for looking fellows and GL and HH to everyone.
