I am a relic hunter by heart, and rarely "go" after coins, however, over the past couple of weeks I have the oppurtunity to hunt two prominent homes from the 1880s that was also the site of a skirmish during Marmeduke's 1863 raid. We found some bullets an eagle button, brass "junk," a naval cuff button (how'd that get there?), along with a total of 65 wheats, 22 Lincoln Mem, 5 Barber Dimes, 2 Barber Quarters, 1 half, 1 Sacajawea Dollar, 1 Morgan Dollar, several buffalos, 3 large cents, three mercs, and some rosies....anyway, I finally decided to actually look up some of the coins, they only one worth anything (financially, they are worth a lot to me regardless of value), its an 1895 "O" barber dime, that books at 365.00 in Good condition, this one I'd say is between good and very good. I will pos a pic tomorrow. Thanks,

What a great group of finds and as far as the "O" Barber dime goes....just think if you had only put aside a sack full of those 111 years ago look what an investment return! WOW. lol
Congratulations.

Barbers are always nice to find. No relic hunter would leave coins like those behind.

what amazing finds, I'm happy when I dig up a wheat Penny but sixty-five is just crazy. I wonder how and why so many coins were dropped in these locations. anyways awesome finds and would love to see pics.

I know what you mean about the coins. I get all excited with a barber dime and then look up it's value - $4. ::)

Well at least it's $4. An almost $400. coin is super. Congratulations.
