Gridding in the snow and other tales

[laplander]

Temps broke above freezing today and I was ready after our little blizzard and temps at -12. With 6 inches on the ground the dirt in the timber didn't freeze. First target out the gate was a solid 12 ended up being a shotgun base. Next up was a 28 singing like silver and it didn't disappoint. My first silver of the year and a good date to boot. Ended up with a nice suspender buckle and a whatchamacallit.

Why do they call that coin a barber?

Beautiful finds!!!! Lucky you can get to a spot and swing, I’m at 25F and about 12-14” snow and big storm to bring another 4-6” tonite. Gonna be FOREVER before we are going to get back out!

Its called a Barber for the name of the man who designed it, Charles Barber, Chief Engraver at the Mint at the time.

6 inches deep snow here with 12 degrees. Had to go to a timber site to beat the frost and wind

Thanks Ron. He did not know it and the literal translation is "hairdresser" or "barber" Therefore, he did not associate it with the coin. Now I know what a surname is. Thanks again.

Thanks, I don't know if it's actually a semi key date but it's better than the run of the mill!

The Barber is a beauty! The broken watchamacallit looks like crude 3 tine cultivator
