Took the ORX out yesterday at my favorite old school house 1897 and got a solid 95 but only one way in a heavy nail site. I dug and found this coin on edge at about 6" looks like it was lost the day they got it. I have found one other barber at this location and it was worn smooth.

I have hunted this place with both the Vaquero and Nox 6" but in fairness the farmer had just bailed and the grass was very short which helped me get to sections I otherwise couldn't detect before.

Made my day for sure because I have been on a major silver drought! Hopefully this will turn the tide.


Any idea on what it might grade at AU or XF maybe...

Your right this isn't a great picture because you can read the LIBERTY on the headband. There is some wear around the T & Y though.
