I went to my usual place this morning, and I got a monkey off my back.

A nice signal came through my headphones with a familiar sound that can only mean deep silver.

1903 S Barber half!

I also found another coin, which at first I thought might be gold, but it is play money.

I was wearing gloves, so I could not tell the weight, and it did not have that signature brightness coming out of the ground.

I though it had a reeded edge, so I got excited for a second... I hate that!

Thanks for looking and HH to all!

Congrats on the big silver Barber half. I haven't dug one since 2012, I'm envious!
 
Congratualtions on the large silver recovery! :occasion14:
 
Sweet barber half!! I just dug a 1903 barber half myself yesterday, no mint mark on mine. If you feel half as good as me finding mine I know your flying high.
Congrats!!
