BARBER'S V NICKEL'S AND A LOT OF SILVER!!!!! Did I say a lot of SILVER ?

The day started early at about 9:00 am at a soon to be DEMO HOUSE.
I got 4 wheats there, $1.83 in clad and a religious medal. As I was leaving since it wasn't being to productive I
got a call from Tom. He said, he was going to be by the Courtland House and we could swing by at 2:00 pm.

Here's a link from the last time there a couple days ago.

http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,151991.0.html


I decided to go do some CLAD HUNTING at a very small ( half a football field ) park in downtown Park Ridge.
I have done this park several times before for clad because they hold a lot of festivals there.
After about an hour and a ton of change I got a nickel signal at about 1 inch so I popped it out. It turned out
to be MY OLDEST NICKEL FOUND METAL DETECTING . It was a 1900 V Nickel WOW!!!! was I shocked.. 2 feet away
I popped out a 1944P War Nickel at about an inch down... What a Shocker that was too......
Then about 3 feet away I popped out a cheap RING...Another Smile!!!!
I wound up getting $ 5.04 in clad too.

Next I went over to meet Tom at the 1890's House.
What can I say .......
It was a fantastic day !!!!!
Detected with Tom ( DOG TAG TOM ) for about 2 hours

I got my OLDEST BARBER DIME a 1895 ( 690,000 minted ) at least in good cond. No Liberty though.
The old coins were popping out.....
I got a KEY CHAIN I D thing at 6.5 inches. I cleaned it up and opened it and found the owners name in it
that was a cool thing to see..

In all I got 9 silvers 9 Wheats 1 V Nickel .35 cents , a busted up Pewter spoon, a lead soldier a token
but most of all, It Was FUN.....

AGAIN TOM ( Dog Tag Tom ) THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



With 10 silver today it brings my total to 23 silvers.........YAHOOO

I looked the name up in the late 60's early 70's phone books but no name. That key chain I D tag must date to the 40's or 50's.
It wasn't from the address of the house being hunted..

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Re: BARBER'S V NICKELS AND A LOT OF SILVER!!!!! Did I say lots of SILVER ?

Sounds like you had a great day!
 

Re: BARBER'S V NICKELS AND A LOT OF SILVER!!!!! Did I say lots of SILVER ?

WOW!!! :thumbsup:

When I talked to you on the phone after you found that V-Nickel,
you were on cloud nine and could hardly speak. . . It's a good thing
you didn't call me after the second hunt because I probably wouldn't
have be able to understand a thing you said with all that excitement :D :D

Very cool!!
 

Re: BARBER'S V NICKEL'S AND A LOT OF SILVER!!!!! Did I say a lot of SILVER ?

Great stuff, as I was leaving the woods, he stopped and I got a first hand look at the goods!!!! Great finds, keep'um coming!!!! :thumbsup:
 

Re: BARBER'S V NICKEL'S AND A LOT OF SILVER!!!!! Did I say a lot of SILVER ?

I think your right...
Ask treasurefiend and twistidd. I saw them going home and they were just going to cross Devon and I stopped in the middle of the road til a cop came....
I was stoked for sure...
I can't Thank Tom enough for letting me hunt with him...
I guess I'll have to buy lunch....
