Got out today for a good 4 hours and had my Best day in a while maybe ever :). Went to the 1880s house I have permission at took the owners some Christmas goodies my wife made and gave them a old key I found in their side yard turned out it was his late fathers name on the keychain he was very happy to have it made me feel good to give him something of value to him he is 82 and a very nice man. After that I headed out to the front yard where I had found Wheats and IHs before started a grid opposite from the last time I was there first target was a Wheatie next pass got a awesome hit and when I flipped the plug I could tell exactly what it was my First Barber Dime :happy: I was pumped 45116didn't want to rub it or lose it so I took it back to the car and put some coffee on it lol very happy to found out it was a 1898 plain also my first 1800s Silver :thumbsup01: after I calmed myself down I kept going the next target I found my 20th IH and my first Fatty 1863 man I was fist pumping again lol finished the hunt with 2 more IHs and 3 wheats a thin dime play coin I thought was cool :) and some relics great last hunt of the year hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Ben

Of course you were pumped, 1st Barber and 1st fatty. Nice hunting and great keepers. Getting that Barber puts you one step closer to a seated...:lol:. Enjoy the holidays.
