<p>[QUOTE="Jim C (Mich), post: 273497, member: 3092"]I recieved permission to detect this cool spot in the next county from me. An older courthouse building that is now a museum. I recieved permission all via e-mail. Had a blast today. I only hit one side of the place.</p><p><a href="http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=oldcthsnt1.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=oldcthsnt1.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/9229/oldcthsnt1.th.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>The wheat pennies where coming outta the ground like clad. I don't think this place has been detected. I found 20 wheaties with some nice early dates. This 1909 has the VDB but no S. Darn. The S mint mark played a big part in my finds.</p><p><a href="http://img212.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0901078wz5.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img212.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0901078wz5.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/1143/0901078wz5.th.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="http://img505.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0901077rd5.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img505.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0901077rd5.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/5488/0901077rd5.th.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Where there are lots of wheaties silver is not far behind. That was true today as well. A great day for silver by finding 6 of em. A Barber Quarter to boot. If it had an S mint mark it would be worth some moola. Same for the 04 dime. The S mint mark, or lack of one killed me.</p><p><a href="http://img118.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0901074av8.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img118.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0901074av8.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/4288/0901074av8.th.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>Here is the backs of the two Barber coins.</p><p><a href="http://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0901075mt6.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0901075mt6.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/9229/0901075mt6.th.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also when there is old silver found.
