    Barber dime and a small charm

    Went into the burbs and hunted with Kimsdad, Watercolor and DP BOB. We stayed dry, told
    MDing stories and found few goodies. Small charm, any ideas on what it is? HH DFW

    Nice finds,
    1800's silver by one year= great.
    Concerning what the charm is, I have no idea, but that is latin on one side, though 1 word is an abbreviation an 1 word I don't recognize or is not in my latin dictionary.

    eint ob unropi sent'a myniamur

    could it be but changed shortened from:

    Ejus in obitu nostro prasentia muniamur (I found this phrase, by doing a web search on "prasentia muniamur"

    Which would mean "may we be strengthened in his presence." And is a medal of St. Benedict. On my web searching, this article came up about the medal http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13338a.htm -- sounds like yours.

    Good Hunting there.

    Nice finds! I really like those worn Barbers (and mercs). Still waiting for my first Barber silver for the year.

    Rich, it was great to hunt with you again on Sunday . . . I'm really glad that Barber
    found it's way into your pouch otherwise it would have been a long drive home.

    Take care!
