Missed It By That Much

Back to the site of the last couple of entries.  As I said previously, there should be old silver here, and after a dry hunt yesterday, finally got one, a toasted 1892 barber dime.  (Also found a religious pendant stamped “CHAPEL STER”.  Not sure what that is, but it sounded sort of like silver, and tested as silver, tho it doesn’t look so much like silver).

Missed a seated by one year.  And, I could not tell in the field as all I could make out was the back, and the backs are basically the same between the two types.  Oh well, better luck next time.

Site also has an abundance of wild raspberries, which are now in season.  I love these things fresh off the bush.  Managed to pick about 3 cups worth in 20 minutes.  Probably got about 20% of what was in the patch.
