Hi guys,
Spent a couple of hours checking a cornfield next to a colonial field I had detected for a couple of years. Got a three wheaties, a '25 and two '27s and found this laying on top of the ground. 1915 no mint mark in G4 condition. Second lowest mintage of the Barber halfs. The Red Book says it's a $120 coin! Gotta get back there before the farmer discs it up.

Nice job, goldgrubber. What detector were you using? How deep were the wheats?
I also found my second Barber today; a 1903 dime.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks T-Man. I was using a DFX. The wheats were all about 4-5 inches deep.
