My uncle gave me permission to detect a rental house he owns in the small town of Clinton, Indiana. He said the house was built in the 1890s. My favorite find was what I think is a brass/copper alloy ring with a fake Opal from the turn of the century. Second favorite find is a 1910 Barber dime...
Wow, what a morning! Hit a local soccer field in hope of clad and jewelry and ended up with 2 Barber dimes, 2 tokens, an old Police button, a huge (22g) ring unmarked and $3 in clad.
Today I went out to a local park for a few hours of detecting. Second day in a row that I have been able to hunt in quite a while. Also, second day in a row that I have found two silvers!
My first silver was a 1943 Mercury dime! I initially had a tough time pinpointing it, but eventually I saw...
I found my second Barber in a week! I found my very first Barber dime about 40 feet away a week ago. This 1905 Barber looks a little better than the 1892 did. Dug a lot of trash too but was too lazy to get a picture of that.
Went out to the woods for the first time in a few weeks. I wasn't finding much to begin with except the usual junk. I found a pin or button that says "I Found Out." I still have not found out what " "I Found Out" means but if anyone knows I would love to find out. My last find of the day was...
Hi all,
Hope everyone is having a great 2018! The Michigan weather allowed me to start the new season a few weeks ago and I thought I'd share some finds from the last few days. My second hole of the season was a 1946 Rosie so I was hoping it was a good sign. The first IH is an 1884 kinda...
Finally after after digging the better part of a pound of silver (coins, and sterling) I went walking up an old road threw the woods thats now just a fourwheeler trail. I don't really even know what was there its just close to where i found some of my civil war relics. I saw a place where a...
Was visiting St. Augustine last week and we were visiting an artists home to look at some paintings. Home was built around 1900 and I happened to mention metal detecting to the artist who then said I would be welcome to swing his property. Wow, what an unexpected opportunity. Had the MD in...
My wife and I just started detecting this year and spent the last couple days on some family property that has been affected by significant hurricanes the past hundred years or so. We do not have as much access to historical sites as many of you in the colonial/civil war areas but we are...
Tried a new spot in the woods 2 days ago. Only got an hour in before the rain, but did manage to find a small pocket spill with 2 Barber dimes and an Indian. Also found a door nail. For those unfamiliar, for a century or two ago for doors they would bend the nail over twice and pound it into the...
Hit a private yard with my bestie AKA Mineslob. Small house built in 1929. Didn't find much, but what we did find was nice. Mineslob hit a gold ring with his E Trac, and I hit this beautiful 1902 Barber Dime. It's weird because I hit silver with the AT Pro, and he hit gold with his E Trac...

That's a painful scratch
This is my 4th barber quarter this year and this is probably the best detailed. I found it at a "backup" , "last ditch effort" spot after I got rejected at an old house. Where I found this, the coin outdates the city so it's cool to imagine who dropped it. Supposedly...
In the past two days of dime box searching, I found 7 silver dimes, including a AU condition 1942s mercury dime. The other dimes were 1957d,1962d (AU condition),1963d,1950p,1953d, and 1964p (AU condition). The banks are closed today, so I can't search today, but I will start searching again as...
Had a pretty good weekend. Went to a location I have hunted numerous times and had no results. I knew there had to be something there so I thought I would give it one more shot. After a few junk targets I hit a strong 12/44. I thought to myself "Finally, a dime!" Out popped my first Barber...
Update! Seated on 4/1! Awesome Day! Semi-Key 1893-o Barber + 5 other keepers!
