Greetings friends.
I have been getting out as often as possible lately, with Gates when he is not working.
I hunted a spot today that I had almost given up on and dug this Barber half
The rest of the finds are from the last three weeks.
Thanks for looking and best luck to all. Merf

Good one Merf. My only Barber half is worn almost smooth.

Nice finds! I especially like the medallion or token.

COOL FINDS!!!

I think that 1889 Medallion might have actually been a watch fob! (SEE PIC) Does it look like the "loop" thingy has been removed at the 12 o'clock position? I dug a similar watch fob in Rexburg Idaho several years ago.

Great finds, Merf! I look forward to the next time I dig a Barber Half. I've only dug one.

Nothing like a nice big piece of silver in the hole. Those are some great photos of it too.

That Expo token certainly traveled a long way, didn't it? That is a very cool find.


Cheers,


Buckles
