Some clad, 14K gold, and a 1903 Barber dime

[Johncoho]

Just returned from a vacation in Virginia with friends and had the first three days of heavy rain. They live in an area that was really hit hard and had a lot of flooding so we didn't get outside the house for the first three days. The fourth day we were able to get out and drive a little but there was still much flooding. The fifth day we made a trip to Virginia beach with our friends and I was able to get in a couple of hours detecting. I found a small pile of clad $4.90 , a cheap brooch, two Canadian coins, and a 14K Star of David pendant. It is pictured beside a quarter to show the size. It appears to be hand made and is not marked, but it tests better than 14K and less than 18K. I was pleased to see some gold. The last item is a 1903 Barber dime that I pulled a rookie stunt on and damaged it with my digger. This dime was found at a local park before we left on vacation. I didn't want the impression that it was found at the beach. Really ticked at myself! It would have been a pretty nice one without the damage. Its not the first time that happened and probably won't be the last. Thanks for looking. Happy hunting and keep on swinging that coil.

That's a great day finding the best of both worlds.

That dime looks to be in SS condition. Or Slightly Scratched. Nice coin though and congrats on the gold

Congratulations on your finds. Sorry about the scratch, it's part of our hobby, but it always hurts.

I need to clarify that the dime was dug at home in a local park before we went to the beach. It was not found at the beach.

Congrats on those 2 sweet hunts John. Sorry to hear about all that rain you had to endure. Wish we had more of it this past summer.

We really need rain here in Pa too. It looks like the forecast for later this week might give up some rain. Thanks Loco.
