Sierra Silver!

[oldmxrat]

Beautiful day in the Sierra Nevada mountains, sunny and 75f, so I went to an old spot where I've done okay in the past.
Managed to pull a 1908-s dime,
1946-s wheat cent,
a one-hole MOP button (?),
a hat pin (?) with a screw-on keeper,
a couple of mystery instrument reed plates (never seen anything similar),
a Tefra toothbrush head,
and some other random junk.

That chrome lever/handle thing looks familiar to me, but I can't place it. Any ideas?

Looks like a good hunt!! 1908s Barber is a good one.

 

[SilverCoinHound]

nice luster on the barber! Well done

 

[russau]

I'll bet you'll be revisiting that location again ! Nice haul !!

 

[Red-Coat]

Interesting finds. The reed plates are possibly from an accordion, where the reeds are mounted as individual blocks rather than a continuous strip.

Sweet looking Barber Dime.
The chrome handle reminds me of an auto door handle part.

Nice Barber - well done !

Thanks Mark!
Yeah, it's that time of year. Had 4 days over 100f already down there. Looking forward to detecting in the lake this summer!

I agree. The 1908-S Barber dime is a winner. Bet its quite beautiful out your way. Congrats.

Nice Barber. Can’t say what the chrome push thing is but still a good spot you found.
