Buttons and a Barber

[Flyingbuy]

I found some time over the weekend to hike in on a site that dates early 1700's, my cup of tea. An early cellar hole was a nice find in the woods. After an hour I had dug three early buttons, one large with a beautiful stamping on it and a buckle. I'm thinking there has to be colonial coins here and soon I'm looking at consistent 90's at 8 inches on the Garrett. I'm thinking silver ?? and dig until I see a silver coin emerging. I pick it up and gently remove the dirt. 1902 ?? Barber half ??, I love my colonial finds !!!! , wasn't expecting this at this sight !!! Still a very pretty coin.

I adore Barber coins, never found a Barber half dollar though, congrats! Looks like its in great condition too you must have flipped when you saw that pop out!

Barber Halves are a great looking coin. I just dug my first Barber Half earlier this Spring. Nice job.

I bet that got your heart racing at a Colonial site! What a great coin! Hope you find more!

great looking find

The patina on that button is perfect! Very nice contrast. If you don't get colonial silver, that one will do in a pinch lol. Nice one!
