had about 4 hours to metal detect this weekend. So I hit up an old home site from the mid 1800s. I found a 1897 barber dime, 16 wheaties, 3 mercury heads, a roosevelt, war nickle, 2 buffalo nickles, a silver lapel pin marked .900, pocket knife, 4 minnie balls,unreadable large cent, and $1.66 in Clad.

Very well done.. half a dozen silver coins is killer! That's a really nice haul of treasure.

You gotta show us a better pic of the Barber... crop the pics so that they show lots of coin, and just a little background. It is called "coin porn".

Best of luck to a fellow Carolinian!
 

Killer hunt! Way to go!
 

That's a real nice haul! Thanks for sharing. I'd be going back and doing it all over again from the other direction! HH ALL

I really like that .900 silver lapel pin! Don't see old school 90% coin silver too often anymore! Nice! :treasurechest::thumbsup:

Good haul & congrats & wish you many more finds.
 

That's a great day. Congrats
 

You got some of the best finds all in one hunt...silver coins, old lead and nice silver jewelry. Congrats to you!:icon_thumright:
 

Congratz on an awesome hunt! That is a lot of silver!
 

Nice finds! If your ? item is lead it may be a sounding weight, used to check the depth of the water under a boat.
