I had a little time this afternoon, after all the cleaning and cooking for our Christmas get together, and my wife told me to go detecting. I started along a side street in the town I live searching along the sidewalks. After about 10 minutes, all I had dug was can slaw and 2 pennies. I recieved a signal between 88-92 and said to myself more rusted iron but low & behold look wat was down about 6 inches. This is the first Barber half I have ever dug and it is a beaut. What a great Christmas present. It is a 1900 o.

Merry Christmas and HH

Nice Find! Believe it or not, but my first half was also a 1900 (minus the o). It makes it all worth while!

Keep it Up! MJ

Congratulations. That's absolutely beautiful. They just don't make circulating coins that nice anymore.
