Pocket Spill !!! Barber Half (1896-o), 2 BBQ, 2 buffs (plus video) 3/3/12!

Hi all,
Had the best day this year with Makton in the woods today. Same woods I got the walker from on 3/1. I got a deep solid signal that sounded good but a little low, but good -- like silver. Dug it. Bam! -- a half (my 3rd Ag half for 2012 ). IT had a buffalo nickel stuck to it. Then, I rescanned after filling the whole, and I had brought up to the surface another buffalo nickel and BBQ (1901) (perhaps all 4 were together and fell apart as I pulled out). Then I rescanned and a deep 8 inch but weak (must have broke up the halo) BBQ. Dug it, and it was a 1897.
Got 4 wheat on the day, but haven't cleaned them. Super awesome day as 1896-O is a semi-key date!

Would have had this post up earlier, but my youtube upload was denied (I used my intro theme song during picks at end for 30s, and Warner brothers blocked my video ). Those of you who upload vids know its a time consuming process to redo...

Unfortunately Todd had his 6x8 coil and I think a lot of goods are in the 8+ inch range in these woods. He did manage an Indian Head cent, I believe the date was 1906.

Jon,
That was a sweet spill. Even if I don't find silver,
It's all good when I see something like that.

My lone penny was a 1900 IH penny.
