Got the urge to go with a buddy after Christmas for 2 days and do some detecting a couple states south.
As usual it was hit and miss and you would pick up a few coins here and there.
Last site was the best and finally got some great keepers. Found a Park area and started pulling up Barber after Barber. It was nuts! Dug a couple Merc's as well but pulled 2 Barber Dimes and 3 Barber Quarters in about an hours time. My buddy pulled a Barber Half, 2 Barber Quarters and 2 Barber Dimes. Insane!!
Bad weather up north where we live and the weather turning bad where we were cut our trip in half but what a way to end a hunt. Total for us on Silver was 32. Now to pics of my finds for those 2 days.
Got 16 Silver and they were 3 Barber Quarters (1894-S,1898,1908-O), 1 Washington Quarter, 2 Barber Dimes (1899-S,1901), 6 Mercury Dimes and 4 Roosevelt Dimes.
Pulled 3 different Trade Tokens, 3 Older Jefferson Nickels, 2 Injuns and 25 Wheats.
Misc. finds included a Key, Cub Scouts Handkerchief Clasp, a Plain Round Button, a Oshkosh B'gosh Button, Kids Aluminum Love Ring, a Junker Ring, Sterling Silver Lutheran Pendant with some of the Sterling Chain, an Old Heart Locket and a Herff Jones Lion Pin which I haven't found any info on but did find that Herff Jones does make Jewelry for Graduation and other events like Jostens.
That does it for the finds and hope 2020 brings more great finds for us all. Thanks for looking. Best of Luck and HH in 2020 everyone! Silver King.
