I found some time over the weekend to hike in on a site that dates early 1700's, my cup of tea. An early cellar hole was a nice find in the woods. After an hour I had dug three early buttons, one large with a beautiful stamping on it and a buckle. I'm thinking there has to be colonial coins here and soon I'm looking at consistent 90's at 8 inches on the Garrett. I'm thinking silver ?? and dig until I see a silver coin emerging. I pick it up and gently remove the dirt. 1902 ?? Barber half ??, I love my colonial finds !!!! , wasn't expecting this at this sight !!! Still a very pretty coin.

Awesome big silver! Not the colonial you were hoping for but still a sweet find.
 

WOW!! That's a great half!! Still on my bucket list! Nice button also, congratulations, HH
 

I adore Barber coins, never found a Barber half dollar though, congrats! Looks like its in great condition too you must have flipped when you saw that pop out!

Awesome Barber half and pulling some old artifacts.
 

Great for you Loco.. :))
 

Can't complain pulling a silver half, regardless of the age
 

Nice buttons and that's a beautiful Barber Half!
 

Barber Halves are a great looking coin. I just dug my first Barber Half earlier this Spring. Nice job.
 

What a beauty! Congratulations on a big silver. Sub 8-)
 

on my bucket list I have yet to find a silver half anything,
great looking find8-)
 

The patina on that button is perfect! Very nice contrast. If you don't get colonial silver, that one will do in a pinch lol. Nice one!
 

Wow, a nice Barber half there, and believe it or not this was the second one posted this week.
 

WHAT A NICE COIN FIND . BUT IS THAT A DANDY BUTTON WITH THE FLOWER MOTIF ON IT????
