short hunt with the 705

[homebre]

Went out today for a short hunt at an old church i have hunted many times before. Found some clad, an old 1900's headstamp from a shotgun shell, a bullet, and my first barber dime. How deep was it? It was lying on the surface probably because of erosion from 5" of rain last week.

Nice, its great finding old coins like that one.

 

[homebre]

thanks everyone. Still have not found my first buffalo nickel or Indian head penny.

 

[Old Longhair]

Hey! You found a Barber, and they only made those for 14yrs. They made Buffalos for 25, and Indian Heads for 50.
So trust me, you're on the right track, and I envision both of those firsts in your relatively near future.

Nice find on the dime. My last Seated dime was a surface find as well. It happens.

They made barber dimes from 1892-1916, 24 years.
Sorry Rick

 

[Old Longhair]

You're right Bill. I knew that....brain fart on my part.
Still a shorter run than his other two quests, and that was the real point.

I know man, I couldn't resist.
