1868 $10 Gold Piece & 1912-S Barber Half found together!
My son & I received permission to detect around a 1904 house in the small town of Dorena Oregon on Saturday March 17th (St. Patrick's Day). After only digging a couple targets I dug a 1868 $10 Gold coin! Then just inches away in the same hole I found a 1912-S Barber Half dollar. But then we detected for three more hours and didn't find anything else old.
Got dog tags? I'm looking for old dog tax tags and dog license tags! From any city, any county, and any state (prefer pre-1970) ~ oddcoins@msn.com
congrats!!! just goes to show it pays to check your hole twice. how rare to find silver and gold in the same hole. how did your detector read it as?
I have found silver and i've found gold-
and a few buckets of trash untold.
We think what we seek is in the ground
but where our heart is
there will our treasure be found
If you count blessings of freedom & health
good friends and fond memories
you have true wealth

I actually had several close targets when I was initially going over this area ~ I think the gold coin was coming in at about +50 on my XLT. I started pinpointing ~ the gold coin came out first, then a big nail, then the Barber Half, and finally another big nail. Then I let my son take his detector over it ~ he didn't find anything else.

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against
you till it seems you could not hold on a minute longer,
never give up then for that is just the place and time that
the tide will turn.
