A Barber and a Buffalo in a field of wheat.:fisher: F 75 DST

Up early and had a email from the infamous "dirt dog" and he was heading out to the lake shore beach to locate another gold chain. Wished each other luck and his good luck to me worked nicely.

Hit the site that has really nasty ground and over the course of four hours dug 5 wheat cents, (21, 44, 51 and 2 now soaking) a no date toasted Buffalo nickel and about the worse looking silver dime I ever recall digging. Turned out to be a 1911d Barber. Had to give it a field spit rub after I dug it to fully determine it was a Barber. Worked it with some soda and a q tip when I got home to get what detail I could.

Maybe its the small coil doing its thing, don't know for sure, but my buddy and I had about given up on the spot. Anyway, it seems to have come back to life of late yielding me several silver dimes, a couple of old nickels and numerous wheat cents. Good luck, all, as there are still some goodies out there hiding, but wanting to be saved. HH jim tn

Nice hunt jim! Suppose the fertalizer ate away at those coins. Reminds me of a spot Ive hunted before.It was a corn field and all the coins were in bad shape. HH rick in mi
 
Rick, we are not sure. Fertilizer very possibly could be some of it. Almost all silver form the spot comes out a little stained, but usually right off one can tell its silver. All I could see on that Barber right off was what I thought was the Barber head silhouette. A lot of the walkways were gravel and some asphalt and when the rides were torn down tons of iron was left behind. Some inches of the top soil was moved and gravel, iron and asphalt all mixed around and together. You can't go more then a foot or two without getting a grunt and lots of it is now decayed or in the process of such. And some of those small decayed pieces sound and read pretty good. LOL HH jim tn
 
Sounds like some tough hunting conditions, most people wouldn't find those targets. This is were the experience comes into play and that's why you found them. Another silver hunt nice job Jim.
