Default *2 Barber Quarters and a Merc Dime Spill*
Hit up an old forest site in the rain this morning and it paid off... I was getting some nice silver tones bouncing around in the 90s so I dug a careful plug and out pops a 1901 barber quarter! Did a little happy dance and took a short break, then swung over the hole again and sure enough, another silver tone... It was another Barber quarter, an 1893! Swung the area again, another silver tone! Out comes a 1918-S Merc dime...Also ended up finding a 1911 wheat in the area. Along with some clad and dug part of an old Texas Ranger cap gun. Last night I was drooling over Bonesquat's pocket spill post and commented on it, then found my own spill today.

Happy Hunting Everyone!
