I found this 1895"O" Barber dime on Nov 7th with my Explorer XS2 in an old grove park my dad and I have been hunting. I was shocked to see what it was worth in the 2004 red book.. then someone with the new 2005 book said it starts out at $300.00 <img src="/metal/html/shocked.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":shock"> I'm glad I didn't scratch this one with my digger <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> I know Barber dimes are common finds but this one I thought was worth entering. We have found several "O" mint mark barbers in this park. Not sure why that is <img src="/metal/html/shrug.gif" border=0 width=37 height=15 alt=":shrug"> Here's a couple pics of the coin and the park where it was found.

found this button in the woods in November.
it's a Marines button, not sure how old, maybe late 1800's.
it was deep, and i thought i had a coin by the way it read on the Explorer.
 
Not the greatest shape but it put a BIG <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D"> on my face.
 
While walking an old sandy road that has been torn up by ATV's, in the loose sand on the side of the road only 2 inches down was this beautiful 1805 Half Cent. I was using the Explorer with the Minelab 8 inch coil installed. This is one of the best half cent I ever found. There are four varieties of the 1805 Half Cent, this is Cohen 4 varitey, which is identified by the size of the 5 in the date and by the stems on the reverse side.

I feel bad that both plates were damaged by my recovery, but I am satisfied that I got them and the dates off of them.
<STRONG>I sure have no idea why back in 1906 the made plates for checks, including date, amount, signatures all on the plate. </STRONG>Anybody have an explanation.
The larger check is from the National Bank of Boyertown, which is in Pennsylvania. The amount $200 The date looks like <STRONG>Apr 24 1907 or 1906.</STRONG>
The smaller check mentions Philadelphia and Atlantic City, I cannot make out the amount, but the date is <STRONG>Apr 23, 1906. </STRONG>
Cool finds either way.
The top part of the pictures are how the plates look, which is in negative for us to read, so I flipped them in the photo program to be able to read then, that is the lower photos.
I was using the Explorer witht the 8 inch coil, Iron mask -14.

Prospecting pin or brooch, black hills gold. Gold pan with nuggets, crossed pick and shovel with grape vine and grapes adorning it. It also has a rope braid circle around the pan.
 
Found using Explorer with stock coil on Nov 4th, about 2 inches deep. I had recently been digging all pull tab signals in hopes of finding gold and because it was getting late I almost passed this "pull tab" signal in hopes of hitting a "good" signal before it got dark. Took a step passed it then decided to hold to my game plan and went back to it. Good decision! <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
It is 14K gold with a total of 45 diamonds, marquis stone is a little over 1/3c with 10 round cut stones and 34 baguettes (rectangular stones) Total carot weight is just under 2c. The jeweler I took it to wanted $45 for a complete appraisal which I did not pay for so I did not get an appraised value but it's my best find ever. Just ask my wife <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
 
this was found where mainly 1700's and 1800's items have been dug. I think it's quite unique and fairly old. It is made of copper and is two pieces - the outline of a man and the hat behind his head are separate cutouts.
It was about 8" in the dirt. I'm not sure if it was an item made for a child to play with or was a logo to some long forgotten piece of farm equipment.

It's from New York. Below is a link that shows one exactly like yours.
 
Looks like I jumped the gun on the voting. I misread Gary's note above. Please forgive my exuberance.
