1907 Barber dime ~ 1963 Rosie dime ~ silver thimble ~ wheats ~ clad

[oddcoins]

Hello!

Ron & I took a road trip up to Albany this morning to detect some old property. We only stayed there for about an hour or so ~ we didn't find much. But just a couple hundred feet down the road was an old chuch next to a cemetery. We hunted around the church grounds for a while ~ I dug a sterling silver thimble and a gold plated cufflink.

After that we drove back to our favorite place ~ CORVALLIS ~ we sure find some good stuff there! Ron let me use his Minelab Etrac and Explorer II. Those are both very fun detectors to use! I've been a White's guy my entire 16 years of metal detecting ~ but some day I'm gonna get myself a Minelab! Here's what I dug today:

1907 Barber Dime
1963-D Rosie Dime
9 wheat cents ~ 1920 to 1958
4 clad 25c's
6 clad 10c's
2 modern nickels
53 memorial cents

The Rosie dime is my 20th silver coin dug in 2009 ~ and the Barber dime is #21! I took pic's of the dimes before & after I cleaned 'em up. And I took a close-up picture of the date area on the Barber Dime.

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Congratulations on the barber and the rosie Neil.....
The XLT is a good machine, but I think you have seen the light.
The thimble seems a little thin, but silver is silver and
you seem to have the touch for finding it in worked
out places. Look forward to our next hunt. Gold Nuggets
