Default Barber Qtr + at hunted out park...kinda
Hi all, I decided to hit my go to park today at 8am. This is the same park I recently found a barber dime and merc. I'm not there 10 minutes and two high school baseball teams show up. The baseball field is the spot I had planned to hit so that put an end to those plans. After wandering for a bit, picking up a few wheat and a silver ring, I decide to give the woods behind the park a try. About 20 feet into the woods I pull a 1902 indian head. Hmmm, maybe I'm onto something here. I wander a bit more, eventually finding a large outcropping of rocks and lots of trash from kids partying. Luckily the trash is all on the surface so I just dig signals 4" or deeper. I pull an 1898 indian head. I then find 3 separate bottle dumps which I poked around for a few minutes. I brought one bottle home but forgot to take a pic. I will do that soon and post it here. I'm hoping someone here might know bottles a bit and give me an idea of the age of these dumps. I see another rock outcrop and head down the path toward it when I get a solid quarter reading at 4", just the right depth here for good targets. Out pops a 1909 barber quarter. I was pretty happy to say the least. I'm going to head back tomorrow and see what else I can dig up. Take care, Scott.
