Barber dime and a small charm

[Dirt fishing Wolf]

Went into the burbs and hunted with Kimsdad, Watercolor and DP BOB. We stayed dry, told
MDing stories and found few goodies. Small charm, any ideas on what it is? HH DFW

Nice finds,
1800's silver by one year= great.
Concerning what the charm is, I have no idea, but that is latin on one side, though 1 word is an abbreviation an 1 word I don't recognize or is not in my latin dictionary.

eint ob unropi sent'a myniamur

could it be but changed shortened from:

Ejus in obitu nostro prasentia muniamur (I found this phrase, by doing a web search on "prasentia muniamur"

Which would mean "may we be strengthened in his presence." And is a medal of St. Benedict. On my web searching, this article came up about the medal http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13338a.htm -- sounds like yours.

Nice finds! I really like those worn Barbers (and mercs). Still waiting for my first Barber silver for the year.

Rich, it was great to hunt with you again on Sunday . . . I'm really glad that Barber
found it's way into your pouch otherwise it would have been a long drive home.

Take care!
