Got out today and dug two silver dimes. A 1948 Roosevelt silver dime and a 1906 Barber Dime.

I was working a gentle slope of grass near this big water tower and got a perfect hit at 4 inches and out pops the 06 barber! Also dug 5 Wheaties and a silver ring.
I suspected that I was in a good area to hunt, there were Victorian era house across the street. It's easier to date a suspected good area by the architecture around.

Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!

Great finds, congrats!
What is the thing with the dragon?
Great finds coolhands Love The barber. The dragon thing reminds me of the pommel to a cheapy katana sword. I had found one similar before.
