White's XLT
This afternoon, I went back to the house I was at Saturday evening, where I got a Rosie and silver war nickel. I was digging every solid signal as I was also trying to find a child's small gold ring lost by the owner's young daughter 42 years ago. Never got it. I even covered the yard at a right angle to my original search - which I never have the patience to do.

However, I did get a sweat 82 v.d.i. signal on my XLT that was registering dime/then quarter and 4 1/2 inches deep. Found a beautiful 1914D barber dime. Normally, I carry an empty Tums container (with a slit cut in it) in my left pocket for found coins. Good coins go in the little change pocket in my blue jeans. Today, I was in shorts with shallow pockets. This baby made me nervous in the pocket so I made a trip to the car to make her secure.

The wheaties are 1915,19,19, and 34. The V nickel is 1891. It's too bad that nickels handle the ground conditions so poorly.

The button is from Scofill Manufacturing Company. I think it is newer as the backing is not all rotted/rusted by the ground.
It was on the surface in an empty flower bed, under a tree. Seems to have an anchor under the eagle. The belt buckle is neat.

Wow very nice looking barber.

Congratulations
 
Great finds. The barber is sweet. The V Nickel is much better than the one I just found. Yours has great detail even if it is a little red. ;D
 
Great job Hoosier. Very nice job. Love the coins.
-MM-
 
Shame you didn't find the ring, but good on ya for trying.
That dime's a little ripper.
 
At least you tried to find the ring, and cool finds btw.
 
Congrats on the finds and nice looking Barber! HH, Mike
 
A good day!

Good plan taking that crisp Barber right to the car. ;)

That's a nice dime! I don't blame you for putting it in the trunk. Better safe than sorry.

I couldn't agree more!!!!
