Went to the same field I got the Eagle General Service Button Friday and dug a few Merrill Carbines. As soon as I got out of the truck I dug this 1907 barber which of coarse had my blood pumping expecting it to be CW era, but still a little nice silver. I have been on a terrible coin drought so glad to get something.

No idea what this was, appears it could have had silver plating. Rang up like BIG silver on the G2

Thanks all, I thought for sure that the piece of copper was going to be a good coin. Read about where a half dollar would and had that deep coin sound. For some reason didn't sound oblong but more like a coin. Oh well...... glad I got the barber. It is a huge field and had a school in it at one time (built in 1812). I know it has been hunted but seems like it is still gonna give up some goodies.

There's nothing at all wrong with that hunt. :thumbsup:

Who ever hunted it before, didn't clean it out - so keep at it and find some more goodies!
