Well the girls soccer circus started at work without a hitch and I got off early at 12:30pm. It was still breezy and overcast (Welcome to Cleveland) so I went back to another site that I found a pile of silver at this past Spring.
Found the V nickel first, thinking it was a higher tone shotgun headstamp. Then about an hour later stumbled upon the 1915 Barber dime in excellent condition, the 1896 IH, which was under a 20 inch diameter tree at 8 inches (and a real bear to dig) about 4 inches from the Barber, and after re-sweeping the spot, at 6 inches from the original Barber, 5 or 6 inches down, another Barber, but this time a 1908 D in very fine condition.
Well after using half my water bottle to clean the V and the IH and then running out of water, the sun finally came out along with the humidity and the skeeters and I said Hi Ho and headed back to the truck. I left my cigarettes at work so I was about to start smoking dried grape vines anyway.
Glad to be home today. It's been a long week. I'm posting this, taking a shower and going to take a nice long nap!
Have fun out there and HAPPY HUNTING!!!!!!
