big silver, little silver, plus

I was sitting around waiting for the 1 to 3 inches of snow that was supposed to come today. But along about 11:00, it was still dry outside, just cloudy. So I said what the H am I doing sitting here. Got dressed in some warm clothes and off I went to hunt one of my old favorite haunts. Glad I did. It turned out to be a pretty nice day with only a few scattered flurries. It took about an hour before I found a coin, but what a coin it was. On the side of a hill in the woods, I popped a nice 1892 Barber Half. It was only about an inch deep. What a beautiful sound it gave on that old Explorer. I new it was at least a silver quarter when I heard it. After about another hour I was following a deer path down another hill when I got a penny-dime signal at 4 inches. Up popped a really nice 1905 Barber Dime. In another hole were two 1919 Wheaties. Then finally when I was climbing back up the hill to go back to my car, I got another good signal at about 6 inches. It turned out to be a neat, half-dollar sized, copper beer token. I also gound a couple bullets, a couple old spoons and a flattened 1924 Wheatie. Looks like it was laid on a railroad track.

Here's the Barber Half:

Awesome finds, thanks for sharing. Barber half is a great find, but so is a beer token in my opinion.

Nice finds, Bob!

I don't see many Barber dimes look that good when I find them! Most are very worn. The half is definitely a beauty as well!

Congrats!
