Way to go Dan, I love your EYES. LOL I know the feeling finding two Fine Ladies in one day. Been There Done That!. I'm glad Nate came up with that Barber Half also. Guess it's Bobs turn next.

Bob's found two halfs there already, a Walker and a Franklin, so he was at his two-half quota already.

Couldn't believe I'd find multiple halfs in the same day...let alone see three dug in one afternoon!
Happy Trails did it though!!

Today at the 'Berg

Well what can I say. When opportunity knocks you open the door. I'm not sure how much longer we are going to hunt at the "Iceberg". The experience with Don and Scott at Pleasant Hill campgroud that led to my first seated coin kinda has me looking at wanting to try focusing on older areas.
Granted, the 'Berg has produced a fair number of older coins, but there's SO MUCH ferrous in areas and so much trash that getting to deeper, older coins is hit and miss...and a LOT of work. Bob, Nate and I went back today to see what we could scrape up anyways...and the weather was unreal for December 29th...sunny and 47...
I kinda wandered around again, hoping for another run like last week (multiple halfs)
Ended up with 5 silver, oldest a 41 Merc. 30 or so wheats (oldest a 1910)
Two flattened wheats (were train tracks nearby)
Cool old junk ring and two more marbles. Large ID tag with number stamped on. Also dug a number of the old round pulltabs. No buffs today but two 1964 Jeffersons as well as some early clad. The two Mercs did come from one hole!!

HH all!!

Re: Today at the 'Berg

Re: Today at the 'Berg

Seems like a good silver day. I wouldn't get discouraged at the "Berg", Keep at it..You just never know.

I hit 5 silver coins today at the "mine" as well..1 quarter (47), 2 mercs (42/44) and 2 rosies (47/50). and about 1 dozen wheats.
and about 50 pulltabs and bottle caps.
