With the beaches still sanded in, my grandson and I have been doing some relic/coin hunting. We were fortunate to dig a 1853 half dime, a toasty largie, a 1902 Barber, a 1902 injun and a 1924 merc! Thats Caleb after pulling the Barber quarter out of the hole! We were also glad to run into a nice Eagle I cuff button, and some assorted lead and brass. The small gold looking thingy tested good at 14k, my guess maybe part of a mechanical pencil?? Any guesses? Thx for lookin and I hope everyone has a great holiday!!!

Wow, what a terrific early site you have there. That's one of the finest dug half dimes I recall seeing here. Judging by the wear on the matron head LC, I'll bet the half dime was lost first. BTW, Caleb looks to having a great time with you!
