A nicer silver ring than the previous one. The stone is a really nice color which is not too obvious in the picture. Found this on an old baseball diamond located in the weirdest place.

A beat up Rosie from a very old and very well hunted common.

A school bell from a school soccer field that yielded a little bit of clad …

… but as I was leaving, I noticed a small patch of grass next to a fence. My first target was a silver Rosie. My second target was a silver quarter. Suddenly visions of a Randy hunt was rushing through my head. Unfortunately everything else was clad but a really good amount far greater than the adjacent soccer field.

Also five nice wheats which look like they’re from the same time period.

And lastly, one day on the way home from the nursing home, there was only about 75 minutes of daylight left, I needed some air and I also wanted to see how frozen the ground was so I stopped at an area containing several ball parks. I had hunted here a couple of times before and found a decent amount of clad. This time I found a bit of clad and then dug up a silver coin. At first I was surprised to even see a silver, then my excitement rose as I thought it might be a mercury but when I finally saw what is was, the excito-meter just pegged off the scale. I can’t even imagine what this coin was doing in that location but this was one of my really better short hunts.

Thanks for looking and I wish everyone the best for the new year.

Great digs! The story of the Barber is a good one... on a few occasions I've been in a bad way and have turned to some time in the dirt for relief. It's amazing was a nice find at a time like that will do. Very medicinal!

I'm looking forward to a post of your totals for your first year. I'm sure you'll do even better next year, although it will chap my ass a bit if my old man finds more silver than me (and I suspect you might)! lol

Finding a Barber is always exciting but to find one in a totally unexpected area just raises the adrenaline to a whole new lever.

Thank you Z for getting me hooked into this ridiculous hobby and for always letting me bend your ear about my rotten hunts. I don't know what the future holds but I doubt I'll surpass your detecting ability.

I'll post my 2011 summary as soon as I can find a bit of time to organize and clean it a bit.
