I would say that was a great day in any book!

I really need to get back out there again, but I have so much work to do around grandmothers house I just don't get a break.

Good luck on your next outing.

The Barber is by far one the best I have seen come out of the ground. It is now resting in a protective coin holder. The KG is paper thin and and has a little detail on the reverse but that one is in nice shape for my area.

A great story, and some hunts you'll remember.
But as a Brit, I have to correct you on your "KG3" identification. It's actually a William 3rd, it clearly reads GVLIELMVS TERTIVS ( Gulielmus tertius ), and based on the diameter it's a halfpenny. And so that dates it to approx 1700, considerably earlier than the George 3rd coins.
