Silver #70 & #71 FTY... and Finally Got to #100 Lifetime. Both Barbers!

Went on a late Thanksgiving night hunt. It was cold! My big NEL Thunder coil slid nicely across the frosted grass and quickly became frosty itself. I knew I wouldn't last long with it being so cold, so I was more picky about the signals i dug. My knees quickly got wet and cold after just a few digs. It was dark, so I couldn't be certain what I had dug, unless it was silver. Few things more exciting than old silver coins in the moonlight. I only dug about 10 signals. The first silver was a worn 1901 Barber dime. #99 Lifetime. I then dug another coin that I was sure was a V nickel, but turns out to be a trade token (I will make another post for it) I think it may be quite valuable. I was working my way back to my car, and sweeped over one of the sweetest signals. It was repeatable all directions, crisp, tight, and deep. Flipped over the plug and scooped the dirt from the hole. The silver quarter caught the moonlight and I knew I had found #100! That feeling of excitement from a nice find just NEVER gets old! A 1898 Barber quarter. I put in my mouth for safe keeping (I know, gross) and quickly made it to my car.

I had a great Thanksgiving with the family and topped it off with a spectacular hunt. Thanks for looking.
