1910 Barber 25c ~ '58 Rosie 10c ~ 42-S War nickel ~ '07 Indian Head 1c ~ medal

WOOHOO!!! Another successful day of detecting up north with Ron, Richard, and Mike W.!! My very first dig of the day was a 1958-D Silver Rosie dime ~ that started my day off GREAT!!! Then a little while later I got a very nice deep target ~ before I dug it I had Ron come over and scan it with his Minelab E-Trac . . . Ron confirmed that he too thought it was a silver coin . . . sure enough, Ron watched me dig up a 1910 Barber 25c at about 6 inches deep! WOOHOO ~ that's only my 2nd Barber 25c find in 15 years of detecting!! . . . Here's what all I dug today:

1910 Barber Quarter
1958-D Rosie Dime
1942-S War nickel
1907 Indian Head Cent
six Wheat cents ~ 1921 to 1947
6 clad 25c's
13 clad 10c's
1 nickel
46 Memorial cents
Basketball medal

The basketball medal is kinda cool! It's made of copper/bronze ~ 30mm in diameter ~ the back side is engraved, CAVEMAN / OF THE WEEK / 12-7-8-85 / TREVOR / SEVEN . Anyone know what this all means?!

The '58-D Rosie is silver coin #98, and the '10 Barber Quarter is silver coin #99 for the year!! ONLY ONE MORE SILVER COIN TO FIND TO HIT MY GOAL OF 100!!

Thanks for looking!

Alright, Neil!! Way to go!! :thumbsup:

Barber quarters are a tough find! It's good to see you get one.

Don't you count your war nickels in your silver count? I do. It's got silver in it. I thought I saw you a while back add a partial silver foreign coin in your count. :icon_scratch:

Anyway, if you don't, you'll reach your goal with lots of room to spare.

Congrats,

THANKS DAN!!

Yeah, I don't count War nickels since they are only like 35 or 40% silver. But I do count any foreign coins that are more than like 50% silver. So far this year I've dug a couple Canadian dimes that are 80% silver and one from Venezualian coin that was 83.5% silver.

ONE MORE TO GO and then what??
Congrats on a successful hunt, Neil. :thumbsup:

The IH was in good shape and the '42 Jefferson is one we don't
find very often. Could the
basketball medal be from a Trevor Seven in Grants Pass?

Good deal on the Barber Quarter and other finds. I have only found a couple of those myself. They are sweet even if worn. :icon_sunny:

Nice Digs!
I Love seeing big old silver!

I kinda have issues with War Nickles myself! lol.
I know there's some silver in there, but whenever I dig one, I REALLY wish I dug something else! :icon_jokercolor:

Congrats on the finds!

War nickels are 40% silver, and ask any coin roll hunter they will count them as a silver find. Its about the same amount of silver as a dime.

Great Barber. After 15 years you deserve it. I am sure they are hard to find up in Oregon. Come to think of it, they are hard to find in NYC, and I can't wait until I get my first Barber of any type- period. Keep goin till the ground freezes.

Thanks man!

Yeah, there was a time that I wasn't sure that I was gonna beat my totals from last year (63 silvers and two gold coins). But now I'm at 99 silvers with about 45 days still to go until the end of the year! WOOHOO!!! I love this hobby!
