Very nice 5 hour hunt gave up a Barber Quarter that's a BLAZER.

Darrell ...a hunting buddy.... took me to a spot I've had my eyes on for a while...but didn't have permission to hunt.

He obtained permission the day before and popped a few goodies out before hitting it with me Wednesday. :hello:

Let's just say it was a very productive 5 hours for us...and we were thrilled. :icon_thumleft:

I really do need to get to work as we are moving fitness equipment around at the YMCA...but I did want to get the pics and post up.

The barber quarter was 8" deep and standing straight up. :icon_sunny:
I had to dig a small tunnel about 5" off to the bottom left side of the hole to find it. ;D

I'm not sure how I kept from hacking it up...but once I saw the glimmer of silver...I was much more careful. :D

I chipped out a clod and was lucky enough to have the coin come out intact in the clod. :thumbsup:

I kept it that way until I got home...scanned it...then popped it out of the clod and scanned it again.

I LOVE it when I get to pop silver out of a clod...and actually wasn't even sure what date it was until I did so. :wink:

The best part of the day though was when some goof walked up to Darrell and told us we probably wouldn't find much. ;D

He had an attitude about him...cocky...and I didn't like it. 8)

99% of the time if you meet a fellow hunter...it is great...but this guy was a jerk to Darrell ???

He informed us that he and his buddy had "pounded" this exact area the weekend before. ::)

Darrell asked him who had given them permission...but the putz didn't have a response. ???

To be honest...I wanted to punch his lights out :headbang: ..just because of his arrogant attitude....and I knew he had hunted without permission which is what ruins it for the rest of us. :cussing:

People like this really rub me the wrong way. :violent1:

About that time is when I stuck out my hand...which held some wheaties...2 silver dimes...and the big silver in the clod. :icon_thumleft:

I thought ol' boy's jaw was going to drop down past his shorts when he saw the coins I had. :laughing9:

He mumbled something about maybe not hitting the spot as good as he originally thought... as he was walking away. ::)

That's when Darrell...being the polite ;D, cordial :wink: feller' that he is said...."are you sure you had your machines turned on when you hunted here"? :laughing9: :laughing7: :headbang:

Pretty nice ending to a sweet hunt.

Darrell did well too...ending up with a barber dime and 3 wheaties.

Man Bryce that Barber is Primo. Very nice. I like the way it was still in the clod of dirt. Talk about being careful! Anyway I would have told the guy that was being a pain that I bet I could detect my detector buried in his arse! ;D Nice job on that "Well Pounded" area. Congrats Buddy. :thumbsup: jgas

Holy MOLY! That is a beaut! The thing that holds this coin back from AU is the wear on the shield, and tail feathers on the Eagle. Otherwise it's all of VF-EF. Congrats my friend.....The Hogge :headbang:
Thanks Hogge. I had no clue until I started cleaning it. It just might be the nicest one I've ever dug.

Great Barber quarter. Congrats on excavating it without damage.

Re: Very nice 5 hour hunt gave up a Barber Quarter that's a BLAZER.

im proud of ya bud!! you refrained from giving that useless little piece of cow dung a quick but potential blow to the head wich is empty because you might of hurt your hand because so much force was executed and nothing was there .you would of had to miss some tecting time wich isnt so good. nice!!!!!! quarter. willy.
 

Re: Very nice 5 hour hunt gave up a Barber Quarter that's a BLAZER.

WTG Bryce. That Barber is a Beauty. :wav:
 

Re: Very nice 5 hour hunt gave up a Barber Quarter that's a BLAZER.

Great Barber find.....I found a few when hunting in the States, but nothing close to that nice.I
I try to use people like "the stranger" as a looking glass......see if I can remember if I ever acted
like that to any other people......and remind myself that I never want to, as I know how much it
riles me. Glad you didn't hit him. Would only have been worth it if he had learned from it......
which is highly improbable. :thumbsup:
 

Re: Very nice 5 hour hunt gave up a Barber Quarter that's a BLAZER.

Nice going Bryce!
That Barber is gorgeous.
Mike
