Default 4 Silver Day and another Barber Dime!!! Updated with Tuesday hunt...2 more Silver!!!
Got out for a long hunt today to one of me and newjak's honey holes and had a great day! I got there at 9 am and my very first good signal was about 5 minutes after I got there. I cut a plug and out popped this nice shiny war nickel!!! I was happy this was only my 3rd one ever. I re-scanned the hole and had another signal, I pinpointed and out pops another war nickel...
I went back to the same spot that gave up my first barber dime last week and went really slow. Got a nice sounding hit on the Etrac but the numbers were bouncing all over the place. I turned 90 degrees and still a good signal so I dug down about 7 inches and out pops my second barber in the last week. A great condition 1902!!! I continued on and found a rosey about a half hour later. I tried my best to complete the trifecta but could not find the merc!!! Oh well it was a great day, just thought I would share!

He was just telling me on Sunday that you have the hot hand. I need to get out there and have some of that rub off on me.
