I’ve been out for a while due to tennitis in my elbow and had to go to Florida with work. But it’s great to be swinging again!! I got a unknown date IHP and a 1908 O Barber Half Dollar last evening!! That was on my bucket list and can take that one off now!!

Very nice coin sorry about the tinnitus very painful
 
Thank you very much! It still hurts, but I couldn’t wait to get out again!!!
 
That one is in really nice condition. Congrats on the bucket list score!
 
Thank you!! I was not expecting that to show up!!
 
Congrats on taking that one off of your bucket list.
 
So I guess that will be a new medical diagnosis now..... Detector Elbow.
 
Congratulations. That's a nice silver.:icon_thumright:
 
Thank y’all very much!!! I got the dirt off of it and I can read all of “Liberty” on the headband!!! I’m way stoked now!!!!! I think this is worth the elbow pain!!!!
 
Those New Orleans (O) Mint marks are tough to find. That in itself is a "bucket lister" for many. Well done.
 
Wow, amazing find. I've only got one barber half to my name and it's still one of my favorite finds. Hopefully your second won't be as elusive!

Great find Jay!!! Glad you're back in the dirt again!!
 
WOW! Awesome find! A Barber anything is great but a Barber half is awesome! :icon_thumleft:
 
I believe it’s tendinitis.....the previously mentioned affliction affects the ears! [emoji23]
 
Awesome half dollar. Heckuva item to dig after a break from detecting.
 
I found my first Barber half this year as well. They are beautiful coins, congratulations!
