1st two silvers of the year.

[Ed (Upstate NY)]

Met up with Park Pirate and BRATNY at the usual city park this morning. Finally dug my first silver of the year, an 1892 Barber quarter only about 3 inches deep. Was expecting to see clad so I just popped a clump of dirt without digging my usual nice round plug. Thank God I didn't put my digger across it. Never thought it would be a silver quarter that shallow. A while later I get a decent hit I thought could be silver so I dug an extra large plug and retrieved a 1920 Mercury dime from a solid 9-10 inches deep. Ended the hunt with a mini-pocket spill of two wheat cents and a 1915 Buffalo nickel. Park Pirate ended up with a Barber and mercury dime and BRATNY found an indian head cent. All came in an area no farther than 100 yards away from where I dug the gold coin last weekend.

Your the man Ed that is a decent looking 92 Barber. Nice Merc as well.
Sounds like you and Tony and the others had a great time together. What more can beat a good day hunting with friends.

Great finds Ed, I ended up with another Indian 1866 and a buffalo nickel at the other site. You have to take Tony down there and give it some time there's still some good ones left.
