The last 2 weekends we have been worried that it would be the last hunts of the season so we got out as often as we could while the weather was decent. 2 weekends ago, we went to the local park that has yielded quite a few oldies as of late. This park has not been good for my machine so me and my dad are sharing his safari to give us both a chance at getting some finds. We first went on Saturday, and I got another V nickel, 1901.

Sunday morning we went back, and it was rough with signals few and far between and not much results when we dug. After a while though i got an iffy signal and dug about 7 inches to find my first Barber ever! 1902 plain

Afternoon came, and of course we went back. I was finding pretty close to nothing the whole time, except for a wheat, and we started to make our way out. I was swinging back to the car and I got a deep signal, bouncing between 32 and 37 on the safari, and decided ah what the heck right? Turns out to be my oldes coin, 1879 Injun. First Barber and oldest coin in the same day, pretty much made my week

This Sunday we braved the cold wind and got out for a couple hours. I found a 1910 V nickel, which gives me a total of 4 all within the last 2 months. My dad bested me on the finds in this 2 week period I believe, so be on the lookout for his finds soon.

Thanks for looking,
FilthyFlyer

p.s. sorry for the lengthy reading, I'm just too excited
