hunted at an old 1912 church today.... went there today for a couple hours, ground was HARD, real hard. We have not had any real rain in over a month. There was a lot of gravel in the ground too so digging was pretty brutal! I will go back when we get more rain.

I did get two nice old coins, 1902S barber quarter and 1910 V nickel. They were about 8" down in same hole and only gave me a signal from one direction, the signal was very iffy bounced around a lot and after I got down to them I see why, the V nickel was laying right on top of the barber quarter which is why the signal was bouncing. Not sure what are the cut marks are on the V nickel?? oh well.....I will take it. I have not cleaned the nickel yet at all, been gone all day and just got home.

I missed the grand daddy of barber quarters by one year! the 1901s !

last barber I got was on Dec 31st 2008, long time to go w/o a haircut...lol

I was hoping to see you with long hair before and after! :)
 
got the V nickel cleaned up, probably best detailed one I have dug this year, too bad it has those cut marks all over it, wonder what caused that?
 
Those are very nice coins , I have never found one yet.
 
I can honestly say I don't have any idea how you people find coins like the ones you've shown here today. I hunt older cites and either come away empty handed or with noth- ing older than 1946! I am seeking permission to hunt some very old homesteads here in my area but haven't gotten the green light yet. Maybe there'll be a 1902 Barber or V Nickle in my future digs???

I ask permission to everyone all the time, everywhere I go, and I research constantly about old sites, and talk to older people as much as possible, if the coins are not on the site you can't find em! plus with me being laid off I hunt 30+ hours a week.
