An ironic kind of hunt!:garrett:

My buddy and I hooked up this morning at the same old park we hunted Mon.-Fri. last week and recovered about 20 silver coins between us. We decided to put on small coils and re-hunt a very trashy area that had yielded several of the silvers and while walking to that area we mentioned that there should be a few Barber coins laying around and wondered why none had shown up. Save for the occasional cent and clad piece neither of us were finding anything good un-til my buddy walked over flashing a nice 1916 Barber dime he had just recovered. Although we are not overly competitive, I will admit to slowing down a tad more and tightening up my swing and shortly there after I got a lock on 80 reading. Hoping for a wheat, but suspecting a Memorial, I flipped over a 4" deep plug and spotted a smokey disc in the bottom of the hole. Yep, a well worn 1900 Barber dime. I told him, tomorrow lets talk about not yet finding any gold there. Besides the clad and cents, did get 1 wheat amd a Chinese coin of sorts. HH jim tn
 
Nice pile of loot you ended up with!! I was hoping for an old coin this morning, but didn't manage to get one. I'm sure glad you and your bud snagged a couple!! Congrats!!
 
Will you please give some thought to my finding some barbers in the morning Jim hu. hu. hu, Please..........:rofl:
 
Ironic?

I'm pretty sure barber coins are silver not iron, Jim. :rofl: You better hurry up and get that gold coin...I have a bottle of Chateau Lefitte ready to get the top popped off!..its not really Chateau Lefitte,.its a can of Billy Beer, which has got to be at least 30 years old if not more... anyway... Great hunting !

Congrats!! A Barber is a great find! I know I would love to see one for sure! Well done! beale.
 
20 silvers between the two of you? Yeow, that park is a find in itself, congrats!
HH !!!
 
Ytcoinshooter, yeah, my buddy and others had hunted it pretty hard back in the 90's and into the 2000 decade. I can only imagine the silver that came out of it back then. Sorry about the pictures everyone, but even being a little clearer wouldn't have helped the ole Barber that much as it was well traveled. Thanks! HH jim tn
 
That's pretty cool that you each got one! The power of positive thinking in action :super:
 
Very cool, it seems silvers are not as popular up here in Canada or they are found already lol. Crossing my fingers for you guy's on the gold one that's waiting. HH
