My last hurrah for the week was 3 hours this afternoon at a Baltimore City park I hadn't been to in months. Based on snow cover I ended up on the SE corner and did pretty well with four wheats (earliest is 1920) and 4 "relics": an early 20th century U.S. Infantry collar disk, a Victorian-appearing brooch. a 1900 IHP, and a 1908 Barber dime. Stumbled upon another digger's recent hunt where he recovered a seated and a Barber dime (seen on his video); looks like he left me this '08 Barber and the 00 IHP!8-)

The weather may have been cold, but your hunting sure was hot. Very nice Barber and an interesting brooch. Congrats!

That's it for me Smokey; probably be a full week before I swing the coil again. Just as well, there's plenty more to do here at home.

Thanks lenmac65! I really thought the brooch was junk until I cleaned it up. Can't remember the last time I dug a Barber anything.

Thanks Randy! Pretty cool to see the words "ONE DIME", and that's the side I saw first.

That's a nice little handful of filthy lucre. Keep up the good work, and stay out of trouble!
