I hunted two places today. The first one had one of the best barber dimes I've ever found! It's in really nice shape! It's dated 1915-S! It's exactly 100
years old! It was a nice sweet sound at 6 inches in depth. Also dug up 12 wheaties and a little over $ 10.00 in clad. Not sure what the big brass disc is? Not sure what the token is either? I love finding barber dimes that are not worn out!

I agree with diggergal that the disc is a sun dial. Great day. Nice Barber.

That Barber really is a nice one. Is the bottle stopper silver too? Any markings? Lots of nice finds.

I don't think it's a sun dial and the lettering around the outside although there are some Greek characters does not appear to be all Greek. Some of the letter look Hebrew and others I don't know. The text around the inside appears to be Latin and the pic in the middle is Jesus (?) or possibly some guru of sorts. Some sort of religious object.

Great day of finds. According to google translate the disk says: "Behold, all the face of the creature, by whom they were made and obedient", in Latin. That is assuming I got the letters right, had to redo several times to even have it make sense, but I believe I got the o's, d's, i's and t's right this last time..lol.
