Ever see an old cajun guy breakdance on the side of the road? LOL!
I hit the road early this morning and hunted a couple of spots i've had good luck in the past. I concentrated on really deep signals, and ended up digging a few pieces of iron, as well as a few wheaties and deeper memorial cents.
During the hunt in these 2 places, i dug 6 signals that were hitting on the 25 cent to 50 cent range. These ended up being 5 tokens for some local festivals held here annually, and one cylinder for an old cap gun. On the way home i swung by an old 1910 built house to see if they had ever cut the grass....nope not yet.  So i decided to hit some curb strips right around the corner from that particular house. It's a fairly wide curb strip, but not too long. After a few clads and a wheatie, i get my 7th 50 cent hit of the morning. Cut the plug and saw a 1 1/2 inc thick root running across my hole, but the target is still sounding off below it. I stuck my digger into the hole on the side, and pried up a chunk of dirt out from under the root. WAIT A SEC!! What do i see ? Its shiny, and has a rounded edge!!! I reach in the hole and rub it a little with my finger, and i see an eagle wing. heyyyyyyyyy........that isnt the eagle on a walker...could it be the eagle on a barber? no way....well..maybe. I was trying to convince myself i didnt find what was obviously sitting right in front of me . Sure enough...my FIRST barber coin EVER!!!!!! I was almost cuttin flips when i got it out and looked at it.  . Its a little worn..ok a lot worn..but its gorgeous to me!!! 1900 barber Half Dollar..no mint mark. Thanks for looking, HH all and Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, you listen to a story of a man named hook, found a Barber Half and started actin' like a schnook. People saw him dancin' and they thought he was nuuuuuuuuuuuuuts, 'cuz he found a coin and started dancing like a putz. I've done the same thing many times myself and believe me, to see a 400 pounder do a happy dance is something no other human should be subjected to! Congrats on an awesome find!! __________________

Hook, I can see you dancing right there on the curb side and even singing out a song of praise to all the metal detecting gods.That's one very nice find. My only Barber is a 07 Half and it sure had me singing and a dancing. Congrat's, you earned the smile. Jack

Nice Barber
Way to get under that root. Sometimes the best coins are the hardest to dig. My only Barber (a Dime) was also a 1900. Hey, I like those tokens as well. You had a great hunt my friend.
