After finishing my cheese project, I realized that I had one last chance in a long time to hunt the area that I had found the barbers last sunday. There was a few showers, but that didn't stop me from a nice thourough hunt at the cliff. I became quickly excited, because my first pull was a 1911 barber. I started to grid the area and hunt slower to find anything i had missed. I found some large and heavy pieces of iron, which always seem to confuse the dfx when they're rusted and deep. I found lots of pulltabs again, even though I thought i got them all last time, there was still more. I found two more Indian pennies, as well as 4 memorial pennies. There was even 2 Victorian Canadian dimes! 1881H (barely) and one no date. After finding these, I figured there must be a seated dime here somewhere, and when I started to head back, I got a very shallow "high" dime reading. I removed the soil and found a 1891 seated dime, just half an inch in the ground. IMGP0167.JPG IMGP0162.JPG I'm still amazed that all the coins (old and new) are shallow. I guess I have to thank the rocky soil for this. I'm also wondering why i'm finding no middle aged coins(one 1944 wheat the exception), but I was told that the priests at the monastery swore to poverty. This place probably was a grove back then, considering the clam shells and glass bits around Here's the other coins and landscape pics!

Pretty awesome coins! There will be plenty of opportunities to metal detect some more in between homework assignments and classwork. Good luck.

Congrats, SMS88, on your oldie finds, especially the '96O Barber. That's a beauty. I found a '96O last month at a local park near me, but yours is in much better shape than mine is...

That '97 "S" is no slouch either, they're worth a goo chunk, and that one ain't too bad.

Wow! That's quite a day, nice stuff! And all with that Blue Cheese thing hanging over your head ;D. That Hudson valley is loaded; I'd love to get back and do some searching myself. Good luck!

Welcome from Britty

The button looks like a Mason's.

Under the button (flower shared knob) is an 19th century Tobacco chest (container) lid pull/decor.
