Decided to go back to the same place as I hunted Thursday alone since, my friend could not get out again.
I decided to go back over the area I had went over before hoping I had missed something but, could not manage to get anything worth posting in this area other then a really worn Token with a hole in the top of it.
I then decided to go over to the side where my friend had found the 1865 2 Cent Piece.
I was not getting allot of higher hits over there until I started getting close to where I had seen an old tree in an old picture (my friend di not go this far out) the owner showed us Weds. (the general area).
I did mange to get a really worn V with only the first two numbers of 18 barely visible. Then my next dig was a 25 Buff shortly after.
I immediately started getting more hits as I approached the tree area long gone and 2 of them where old wheat's. As I continued on I then got a deeper hit and it turned out to be an old brooch in really rough shape.
My next signal which was only about 6" was a 45 Merc. on the other side of a current tree close by. Then 3 more wheat's came out in this general area and two of them where deeper being 19s.
I turned past the current tree to start back from the area I had came from and within a few feet got a much deeper hit that bounced all around the top 1/4 area of the right side of the screen.
I dug to the to about 7" and heard nothing from the X1 so, with a little more Lesche I scooped out a tad more. Then nothing again in the hole but, upon checking the dirt on my towel I got a high pitch.
Upon sifting through the dirt I pulled out a silver dime.
The front was not very visible but, the back was more identifiable and I thought it was another seated.
Well with a Lil saliva on the obverse I saw the date and new it was a Barber.
The owner came out while I was recovering the copper buckle and stated he was leaving so, I said I would go and we would (my friend and I would be back again Saturday) if that was still OK.
He said sure but, when we find that pot of Gold we have to split it and I chuckled and said we sure would.
So, it was another good day in my book and decent day for finds.
On a side note: I did surpass 400 wheat's for this season today.
Here are the coins/token as dug today.

Here are my two nicest coins for the day washed off with soap
The Barber turned out to be a S mint-mark which I could not see until it was washed off properly.
