Went MD'n a couple hours this morning, I had planned on going for the day, but when I got to the fairgrounds It was locked up. :crying02: I had forgotten they take Veterans day as a holiday there... so reluctantly I worked the outside area of the fairgrounds..

I primarily worked along the fence line where I have seen photos of people congregating ... got myself 6 wheaties, then right along the old sidewalk a 1951 Washington.. then I hit a deep, 10-12 signal, coming up FE 15-17 & CO 46-48, It sounded good, but when pinpointed it went quiet.. but off a little to side it would sound off.. I was reluctant to dig as I thought for sure it was iron.. Pulled the plug, and no signal at all... I dug down, sure enough, in my shovel laid a sweet 1905 barber quarter... number 100... :happydance01: :peace:

Happy Veteran's Day to those who have served OUR GREAT NATION!!!!!

God Bless America!!!!

Congrats on 100 :beerbuddy: NIce looking Quarter. Not a better way to spend part of the day than to detect on a day that was meant to honor those who fought for freedoms like that. Happy 100th and thank you to all veterans that help make this a free country.

Congrats on 100. What a beauty to get for the milestone.... if not for Vets Day, you probably wouldn't have hit that Barber.

The sound of Freedom ROCKED my house this morning as two fighters flew by for Veterans Day.... it was an awesome sound! :peace:
