A few "dug" barber coins
Here is my collection of barber coins found with a metal detector since 1999. "Good ones" include the two 1893-p dimes in the upper left corner, both in AU grade, found in the same hole; the near-mint 1899-p (top row, 5th from left), and the 1903-S (2nd row, 3rd from left). Of the coins found here, the deepest was 12 inches, and the least deep was laying on top of the dirt. Most were 1.5 to 6 inches down. I haven't had such good luck with earlier silver coins, but these are among my favorite finds.
