I had a rather awesome hunt today, scored a barber grand slam and a dime trifecta... Started the day hunting after a 6 1/2 drive to my old stomping grounds. First site gave up the barbers,rosie and the wheat.....
Ending the day by doing a test hunt of my backup spot, looks like both are going to produce very nicely. Scored 2 wheats and the merc in 30 minutes....
Found the barbers with the Equinox 800 and the others with the CTX....

My wife kicked me outta the house for 8 days....so...I did some research close to where I grew up and arrived today for nothing but digging, eating and sleeping :)

First spot was across from the old railroad depot next to a dried up man made lake from back in the day.....

Second hunt was an old city park.....

Great coins Dan ! Probably not to many people can say they ended up with a Barber Grand Slam in one outing.

Thank you... That would be my first one.
 

Any tips on how to get the wife to kick you out of the house for 8 days?

And then let you back in?

Just wondered.

Quite the feat! Congrats!
 

Nice hunt. Mama, Papa, and Baby Barber.
 

Now that’s the kind of hunt we’re all hoping for! Congrats on the grand slam!
 

Alright Dan, even though I'm green with envy, you didn't hit a grand slam! :laughing7:. Maybe a triple, trifecta, or triple crown, but, you need 4 Barber coins to make a grand slam! Now, if there was a V nickel, commemorative, foreign coin, or pattern coin designed by him somewhere in your stash, then you get me eating crow, bowing and scraping......:notworthy:
 

holy smokes I need a hunt like that amazing. Does the better 7/8s no that you are having the time of your life lol

The grandkids and her sister are there, she probably doesn't know I'm gone :)
 

Thank everyone for the nice comments and taking the time to take a look.
