Well, here's my haul. It was Friday so I worked at it for a while, about 2 hours. I also had my pal send me a pic of a seated coin he "lucked" up so I needed to produce;)

Got a duo of Washingtons. A '40 and a '48. They both didn't hide themselves And weren't that deep. Next up was a '45 Merc that was surrounded by rusty bolts. Had to fish about 4 nuts and bolts out of the hole. That was followed by a sharp signal under the rootiest tree I've ever seen. Took a while but out popped a '97 barber. Last was another Merc in a real hidden bouncy signal. Snagged that sucker but right then I realized I needed a cold one pretty bad and went home. #19 for this new permission

I didn't clean the coins much yet, hope ya don't mind!

Happy hunting!

Awesome silvers, congrats.

Lol I think that ctx has a little to do with it also
 

Nice silvers. Your excavation through the roots was worth it for that Barber.

Hey thanks man! Agreed. The roots can make dig tools slip and hit the thing were digging sometimes, so I'm glad it worked out
 

You are unstoppable. .If theres silver in the ground? ? Its coming out!!!!
 

Another great effort buddy. I'm telling you if you keep pulling those silvers you will hit a key date here sooner later. Just a numbers game....and your numbers are damn impressive
 

Nice digs. on fire is understatement, always like the barber's.

Tremendous day, fabulous site, and great pocket full of silver. Congrats!!
