Hunted the local library yard and found a 1919 Wheatie and a Toasted 1895 O counterfeit barber dime... the dime rung up as a zinc cent

Nice wheat ! Some of the battered cents give odd readings on my M6 also. HH in 2014!

Nice finds. The 1895 0 is the key date of the Barber dimes.

That happens to my m6 also, I had a 1912s wheat that still even out if the ground beeps in the 30's. I thought it was weird but glad I dug it.

Welcome to the "1800's Club" BHG. We've been waiting for you.
Why do you think the dime is counterfeit? Weight? Size?
Congrats to you,

Very cool.

Thanks guys the only reason I think its counterfeit is because it rings up as a zinclon?? And if it's real it may not be a O mint after all that was only a assumption because I looked online and they said the counterfeits were made in that year... because when I finally was able to see a date it looks like 18*5 so it has to be a 1895 because a 1885 would be a seated, you can bearly see the outline of Barber on the obverse...
