Hey guys,
Met up with dave today to the spot where he scored his killer barbers the other day, we got there nice and early and started gridding, my first target was a wheat which was promising, next after that I got a wierd choppy signal next to a huge boulder, the vdi's were all over the place, to my surprise it was a paper thin 1794 Spanish silver!!!:headbang: my first Spanish silver and oldest silver to date!!!, 20141017_135106.jpg20141017_135302.jpgnext target was the 1864 2 center, This one has real nice detail, I managed an indian and more wheats before grabbing an 1838 holed large cent to complete the trifecta!20141017_165417.jpg20141017_174759.jpg20141017_174408.jpg 4 silvers including the Spanish silver, 2 center, indian, and some relics!!

That's just hilarious lol, u have any idea how sick to my stomach I was lol, I felt like I lost a child!!!
 

Brad says I should have told you " Finders Keepers "!
 

What a great day...right up till you noticed your child missing....heh
 

It's amazing how similar the wear is on the two coins, they are almost identical! Wow, what a coincidence, you just lost one just like that his car. LOL
 

Nice going on the early silver. You got the fever now!!
 

I told you before, but you just don't listen! These things we find do NOT want to BE found! To that end they will take whatever means necessary to get hidden again! Still don't believe me? Just watch what happens to items you dug up and see how many times they LITERALLY jump out of your hand! Back into the hole, roll under a table or just stick to the mud on your glove and try to get away.

Be CAREFUL!!


Nice finds and refinds! Good thing you have a friend like Dave! :)

Hurry up and clean that 2 center. I wanna see both sides clean.
 

Congrats on having the good sense to dig that weird choppy signal. A lot of others would have passed that one by. Nothing better than early silver!
