Had two hours to spare this afternoon so I went back to the 1800's house where I got 3 wheats last time. I got one wheat shortly into the hunt. the a half hour later another one. Then it seemed like there was nothing else to be had. I thought to myself, I am going to find one more wheat so I will have had 3 hunts in a row with 3 wheats! Well I did find another one, then two in one hole, then another one, then another two in one hole! I kept wondering, where is all the silver!
Then I found a neat heavy copper emblem of sorts with three men on horses playing polo. It appears to be old, and was attached to something at one time.
As I was heading to the truck, you know how you tell yourself just one more good target! Well I got one right in front of the truck. I got the dirt out of the hole, then some more and then it was out. I was fishing through the dirt and found a little clod the size of a big marble and the tone was in it. I carefully broke the dirt free from one side to see silver looking back at me! WOOOO HOOOO!!!!! My first Barber dime of the year! 1908 D in very nice shape! A good coin to quit on!
Group shot.

Back - Looks like maybe a die crack in the middle? I didn't scratch it.

Congrats on the Barber Dime....I guess you are feeling your OATS now and want ta go again soon!
God Bless! Betty
Glad I read on into the post. Really though, those are great finds. Maybe you can teach me some of your tricks. The reverse of the Barber doesn't appear to be a die crack, as if it were the space in between the o and n would more than likely be cracked too. Probably some foreign object has contacted it, but I could be wrong. Oh I have not tried emailing you again, but will here shortly. How deep do you think my Garrett ADS III goes? Just curious.
