1st Barber Half with token & Barber Dime stuck together

Hello everyone, this is my first time on this site. Please bear with me. A friend of mine from our club invited me to one of his hunting spots and I made a great find. In 15 years of detecting I hadn't found a barber half, this day would change that. What makes this even better is that stuck to the half is a good for token and a barber dime as well. In the photo you can see the remnents of maybe some cloth. I seached the area really well as the dirt had been disturbed by a back hoe. No more coins though. Later I will seperate the items and check for mint marks and the token info. The half is 1906, and the dime is 1912, both will probably be S mints because they were found in San Francisco. I found a number of other items but will not post at this time. I also found a chevy token from 1954. If anyone has any advice to a newbee on this forum, please write. Thanks All

Nice find. I once detected a V Nickel fused to a Barber Quarter. When I got to the car I poured a little bit of Mountain Dew on it and let it soak a few minutes, then I pulled them apart with my fingernails. Both coins were mild stained and tarnished on the outside, but the parts that were stuck together were quite shiney. The parts stuck together also left a flat imprint on both coins.

congrats on the barber! wish I could tell you anything on the token, but someone here will probably have one and know all about it! I'd go work that spot out!

That would be a great find too. Thanks for the story.
