So today I was short on time for detecting and decided I’d test the water in a spot I’ve been eyeballing for a while now. I get there and right off the bat I find a 1916 wheat penny! I get a little excited cause I don’t have a lot of areas in my neck of the woods that haven’t been hit already. Immediately after finding that I find two more wheat cents from the teens! I tell myself this is gonna be the day I find my alluded barber silver! The only silver coin out of 1900’s nickels, dimes, and quarters that I haven’t found. Right after thinking that I sweep across the yard and a come across a beautiful high tone that’s deep. I dig it out and there’s my 1900 Barber quarter that had been alluding me this past year. Not in the best condition but I’m stoked! Crazy I told myself I was gonna find it then it pops up very next find. I spent the rest of the day digging wheat pennies and a 1920 Buffalo nickel. All in line for the home that was burnt down in 1922. There was barely any trash in the yard. The only thing one could consider trash is all the wheat pennies littered through the yard and I’ll take those any day over can slaw. I dug 9 wheat pennies, the buffalo and the barber quarter in under two hours. I’ll be going back tomorrow hopefully for the rest of the silver! Best day I’ve had since the gold gilded confederate button I found a few weeks ago! (Edit - By the way I haven’t had time to take a tooth pick to the wheat cents yet so they look even crustier than they should! I was just excited to get this posted!)
