Barber and Ed from the never ending spot

[Gridwalker306]

After finding a 1903 fishscale at the old hunted out spot the other night, I decided to go back today and go really slow. I almost always have reactivity set at 3 at this spot due to the amount of iron and multitude of small foil. Today I lowered the reactivity to 2 and gave it a shot. I dug lots of nails and foil, but it was worth it. It payed off with another fishscale, and a barber dime. I haven't dug a barber since spring of 2017 so I was extremely happy to snag one. Of all the barber dimes I've dug this is the first 1911 so that's cool too.

I have to check, but I believe this makes 57 silver coins from this small spot. Must have been quite the place way back when.

Very cool! Nice silver! Why do they call it a fish scale?

Because it’s so tiny it literally resembles a scale off a fish. They are the same diameter as US half dimes, but are slightly less weight.

Ah OK. I was looking at the wreath and the head on the coin and couldn't see anything resembling a fish scale!
