Today I stayed close to home, 1.3 miles away at a hillside above a busy intersection. I finished with 1895 & 1900 Indians, 1909 VDB, 1902 Dime, and 1893O Quarter. I also found a few unbroken bottles. The best is this McDonald PA stamped Coca Cola bottle. Sometimes pay dirt isnt far away. Good luck out there.

You had a great day buddy. That 1909 V.D.B. is a hard penny to score. 27,995,000 struck and worth about $15.00. I have only found one that I remember since 2008. Congrats on that nice Lincoln, Indians, and Barber dime & quarter. A nice old Coke bottle to top off your day. Well done.:headbang:

That's my first VDB, it feels good to finally find one.

I recovered my "official" first one last year. It ranks as my best and favorite Lincoln penny ever dug. Now if I could remember where I put it?:dontknow::laughing7:

Is yours lost in the box? Haha Seems like you have a big collection. I've also managed to find the scarcer 1932 wheatie earlier this year.
 

Great hunt. Lots of oldies. I need to find another close productive site like yours. Congrats!!

Thanks man, yeah it's tough finding good spots near home. I'm making an attempt tmrw to find a foundation in a wooded area less than a mile from where I was today. Hopefully it's not all weeds.

Probably a few inches away from me right at my computer desk! I can loose something attached to my body with a tether!:laughing7:

Thanks, I've had luck with Barbers the past month (2 dimes, 2 quarters, 3 different locations). I will admit that I scratched this quarter with my trowel but you cant tell by the picture. Killed my buzz a bit but I know it happens to everyone.
 

Congrats on the nice old finds.

That Barber quarter would have made my month! Well done sir.
