I hunted two places today. The first one had one of the best barber dimes I've ever found! It's in really nice shape! It's dated 1915-S! It's exactly 100
years old! It was a nice sweet sound at 6 inches in depth. Also dug up 12 wheaties and a little over $ 10.00 in clad. Not sure what the big brass disc is? Not sure what the token is either? I love finding barber dimes that are not worn out!

Nice Barber! Is the large disc a Greek Sundial???
 
Fantastic day. That Barber dime is sharp!! Congrats
 
Nice silver...interesting finds!
 
Looks like a great spot. That Barber looks to be a high grade coin. Congrats on the good hunt.:thumbsup:
 
that's a very nice barber dime!, you had a real nice hunt, that large disk is intriguing!
 
I agree with diggergal that the disc is a sun dial. Great day. Nice Barber.
 
That Barber really is a nice one. Is the bottle stopper silver too? Any markings? Lots of nice finds.
 
great digs! looking forward to see what that big ol' disk is all about.
 
Very nice looking silver, the stopper is a cool find and the sun disk also.
 
Great hunt! Love the Barber!
 
It's a 1915-S! Hello! Anyone there? This is a great date for a Barber dime. Very nice find!
 
Yeah , That's a semi -key date - worth a few shekels too ! Nice find !!
 
Hello Cool Hand Fluke. You gotta love a hunt like that! Silvers, token, Wheaties, and the unknown thing is very cool...nice. Thanks for the view and good luck. C9
 
I don't think it's a sun dial and the lettering around the outside although there are some Greek characters does not appear to be all Greek. Some of the letter look Hebrew and others I don't know. The text around the inside appears to be Latin and the pic in the middle is Jesus (?) or possibly some guru of sorts. Some sort of religious object.

Great day of finds. According to google translate the disk says: "Behold, all the face of the creature, by whom they were made and obedient", in Latin. That is assuming I got the letters right, had to redo several times to even have it make sense, but I believe I got the o's, d's, i's and t's right this last time..lol.
