I had an awesome day today at the 1830's CW property. I finally was able to join the "Barber Club" with a 1906 "O" Barber dime. Yaba-daba-doo!!! I was hoping for an 1800's silver coin this year, but I'm VERY happy with this find. It only took me a year. 
I also found two CW bullets, and a nice heavy mans ring with Indian design. All of these finds were made on the side yard that I have hit once before. The ring and one of the CW bullets I found right in the same area that I dug the CW Eagle belt plate a few weeks back. Must have been an active area? After today's hunt, I can see I need to pound that area a few more times, as I missed some decent finds.
I also found a military dog tag which was a first for me.
A great day indeed. I think the mojo between BDoo, Civilman, and I is working.
Here is the rundown of today's hunt:
*A 1906 "O" Barber dime. This is my oldest U.S. silver coin ever. According to my coin book, I think it would grade out at about an F12, since I can see all the letters of "LIBERTY" on the headband. The back has excellent shape detail still. My 2003 coin book shows an F12 as $40.
*A beautiful silver men's ring (heavy) with an Indian design on it. No markings inside. I cleaned it up and it came out beautiful. It fits me, so I may wear this one.
Any idea of it's age? I hope the same guy who lost his sword belt place lost this too, that way it would be CW era.
*Military dog tag with "Frank Perkins 343405097 T42 44 O".
Any idea of it's age or how I could track this person or his relatives down so I could return it?
*Two CW 3-ringer bullets. The smaller one has a flat bottom. What type bullet would this be?
*Sunoco "Antique Car Coin Series" token with a 1918 Cadillac Landaulet on it.
*Round piece of lead with letters on it.
*A harmonica side piece with "Sousa's Band - Made in Germany" engraved on it.
*An 1800's lock front cover with an eagle and "W.W. & Co." on it.
*Asst'd other relics. Any idea what those two pointed pieces are? I've found one at the other farm property I hunt too.
So many questions, so little time.
Thanks for looking and have a safe and happy holiday season.
