I visited one of my favorite fishing holes and knowing the water levels were low I checked an old map to see where old houses use to be. I was walking along finding fishing lures and saw what looked like remnants of an old house. It made sense from what I saw on the map. I started detecting and soon started finding wheatbacks. They were in rough shape but I did see 2 were from the 30's and 2 were from the teens. I found an old pocket watch, a 1929 dog tag and some old bullet casings. When I saw a 32/33 pop up on the Nox I thought it was just another penny with a nail next to it like I had seen twice in the past 30 minutes. But 2 inches of sandy dirt later I was looking at my first Barber Quarter - 1909 D . INSTANT smile. It is in great shape, a little dark from being submerged most of the year. I plan on trying the spot some more!
