I hunted with Bryce-IL over the weekend and had a lot of fun. Being able to listen to signals when he calls me over has helped more than you can imagine.
It took me a while and it even got dark on us but I finally dug my first barber coin. In fact I dug 2 because they were in the same hole. I guess he called it a "pocket spill". The dime was 1" on top of the quarter and I nearly didn't find the quarter but I'm glad I probed the hole again before I filled it. I was hunting on the other side of the area he was and the ground seemed different than where he was hunting. The quarter was about 8" deep
I have only been hunting 3 months and hadnt found a barber coin until yesterday. Now I have 2 so I'm pretty happy. I am glad I got into this hobby and I now want to find an indian head cent very badly.
I just wish I wouldn't have seen that stupid mechanical bull at the fair.
