First Barber

[just-dig]

This makes three silvers out of my mothers yard in two weeks. They were all three firsts for me, first the 49 franklin, then the 1917 merc and now this 1912 barber dime. Still not a wheat penny one found here.
I dug the barber dime this morning, second plug.

Very nice. Still waiting for my first Barber. Judging by the years of your finds, you have a shot at some key date wheats! You've got a good spot. Congrats on the silver.

I'm not sure about the date on the original house. The house that is there now was built in the early 1950's.
The original house age is in question. The lot was sold on the 1890 map that I have, but I'm not sure when they built on it. My grandmother remembered there being a two story house on the lot but that's all we really know. The older stuff is pretty deep, I'm getting iron at fourteen inches.

Thanks for the replies. I have no idea where the wheats are, I sure haven't found any yet. The only old penny I've found was my first IH, an 1898.
