Two Barber dimes and other goodies!

[TejasDigger]

After two months of detecting I finally found my first silver coin, and it's a 1911D Barber! I also found a 1899 O Barber so my second silver was better. It took me two months to find one and I found two the same day. I would have been happy with a 1964 Roosevelt. I knew the odds were good of finding an old one, if I found any. I haven't had a whole lot of luck at this old house sense I found a 1902 Indian and three wheat pennies. Here are the pics enjoy!

Also found this spoon

A key

Whatever this is?

And some other stuff

Here are some pics from the site. Notice the big Oak trees.

Also found this and it looks like a meteorite. Anybody know? My detector found it.

Great Barbers, I don't find them often, and I doubt I will ever get tired of finding them. Nice spoon, also (possibly earlier half of 19th Century) and looks like you got some decent iron relics there as well.

Yeah I know. What do you think these coins would grade?

1999 O Barber is a rarer date and in great shape.

That 1899-O is a heck of a coin. In higher grades, it is one of the toughest Barber dimes to find, and is actually underrated in the price guides. Great find!

congrats on the first silver..and Barbers!! Your "meteorite" looks like lead to me but I'm no expert. And your one pic looks like a heel plate? congrats on the great hunt. I'll bet there is more there.

Thanks. I just looked on ebay and someone has one on there graded as XF for $189.99 and I would say mine is in at least XF. I don't know much about grading coins though.

It didn't look like lead to me, it looks like a rock. But I'm no expert either.

VERY nice coin! and that piece that says "great lakes" i think is one side plate from a bait casting fishing reel.
