Daughters Of The American Revolution & A Barber

[Sooper Dave]

It was in the upper 50's yesterday after being in the teens at the first of the week. So I made a little time to enjoy it by getting in a short hunt. I went to an old house that I hunted on new year's day and focused on the grown over driveway. A gravel driveway is some of the toughest digging, and I find myself avoiding them because of it. But I know there can be some goodies there so you just got to get in and tough it out
I started by an old garage and found a wheatie, my next good signal sounded like another wheatie and I was surprised to see a very gray dime in the hole. I was even more surprised when I saw that it was a 1908 Barber dime. This dime has definitely seen it's better days but I was glad to get it. I went on to find another old wheatie and then I got an awesome signal and dug up the DAR Good Citizenship Award medal. I don't know how old it is but it's a neat find. I believe that these are still awarded today and it would have a red, white and blue ribbon that it hangs from.

The paint is a little faded and could use a good interior cleaning but it I believe it was only drove on Sunday by a little old lady to get to church

Good hunt. ...I hate those gravel driveways. I know stuff is in there, but it's hell digging your target in it. Looks like it paid off

Nice hunt! A Barber is always nice.

My mother was a member of DAR and DFPA (Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America), so that brings back memories (she has been gone since 2004 and I found her DAR and DFPA certificates after my father passed away in October).
