A Barber Day

[angellionel]

Yesterday's rain and warmer temperature did the trick with the semi-frozen ground. It was easy digging today.

The park yielded five silver coins, one Barber quarter, dated 1908-O, two Barber dimes, dated 1908 and 1911, a mercury dime, dated 1943, and one Roosevelt dime, dated 1947.

I also dug up this Green River Whiskey token...

Another great silver day ;) Nice '08 dime. I can't believe the sheer number of silver and copper lost by people. It's amazing that after all these years of detecting, there would still be that much treasure left to find. I guess humans are sloppy :lol: We lose everything! Nice token too. :thumbsup01:

It is surprising to still be able to find old silver at the parks after all these years. It helps that the trash has been hiding them. ;)

Geeze... Is that the guy whose head is in a jar?? :shocked04: Just think Angel, when you get 10,000 silver coins, we can freeze your head for future generations to see :lol: But you are starting to build a career like Ted's :yes:

[angellionel]

In a jar? :shocked01: I like my head where it is. :lol: I don't know George, I may only reach 3,000 - when I'm 95 - and that's only in my wildest dreams. :lol:

[coinnut]

I finally figured it out :confused: I can't believe you won't come clean....it's obvious :rolleyes: You violated the Medal Detectorists Code of Honor. You've been giving your E Trac HGH or Steroids :lol: I can't believe no one figured this out before. Just admit it Angel, before Congress gets involved. :huh: And you said it was just vitamins :embarrassed:

Great finds, I'm dreaming about a day that good.

:lol: :lol: I like the signature.... I hear you saying those words in my sleep :lol:

Some very nice barbers ;) Great token too... probably originated from Kentucky the whiskey state.

Another great day... be glad you didn't have a blizzard like we did here in the 'south'!

Oooh... cool! I've been wondering what this warmer weather and rain was doing to the ground. I actually saw brown grass today on a couple fields and it made me want to go give it a shot. Unfortunately, I was working.

Good diggin's as usual!

Another great day, I'm starting to wonder have much Silver is there.... If it's there you'll find it..

Since I'm a Baseball nut, Joe DiMaggio had a 56 game consecutive game hitting streak in 1941 the alltime record which is amazing when you think about it, Ted Williams never made the 30+ game list.. FYI..

[angellionel]

Thanks everyone! :)



:lol: :lol: I like the signature.... I hear you saying those words in my sleep :lol:


I was right about that area though. :lol: And I still think there is more stuff there. :lol:

[xzlr8n]

Thanks Bmattioli, I wasn't correct with anything on that was I. I knew you might chirp in with Ted though, thats why I picked his name. I'm a Yankee fan, my bad on DiMaggio. Is Ted the last one to hit .400, or am I all wet on that one too?? Ted did something great other than playing for the Red Sox's didn't he :rofl:.

[del]

hey Angel that trio of barbers look sweet together , congrats on a great day my friend :thumbsup01:

[Epi-hunter]

Thanks everyone! :)

And I still think there is more stuff there. :lol:


One of these days you're going to be wrong, because you will have finally dug it all :lol: I can't believe how many silver coins you have pulled from that park which was supposedly hunted out. It must be close to 200 now.

[John M]

Gonna have to rename that place to Barber Park.
