A friend called me the other day about listing a property of hers she wanted to sell. Doing some resarch before the appointment,I found out that this building was built in the 1880s. Among the things I found out, is that it was an originally a brothel. Arriving at the appointed time,she was late(as norm) but called me and said take a look around the out side and she would be there in a couple minutes.Well being I was very interested in this property I walk around and out back there was spot where someone had done some digging.So I of course went over and looked.Something in the dirt pile caught my eye. Reaching down to my surprise I found a 1908 barber dime just lying in the dirt.Just then my friend pulls up.I felt that I had to show her my find and ask her if she wanted it,she declined.After a tour of we started talking and she told me that there had been a few coins found there and that workers just keep them.So i told her of my hobby and was granted permission to hunt any time I wanted of course till it sells. Now I just hope the snow and the cold goes away in time for me to hunt

Getting lucky at a "brothel" is kinda a given I'd say! lol

Nice find!

Nice! Hope you're able to get back there and clean the site out. Great title to your post, too!
 

Wow, what a neat story and find. Some poor guy was probably heartbroken when he showed up at the brothel and realized he had lost his $. :)

Who was the wise guy who ordered a dimes worth? ;) Great find and great potential. Monty
 

Nice post and find, those Barbers are hard enough to find with a detector! That old brothel is still giving up a smile, LOL. HH, Mike
 

Awesome find eagle eyes! Get the detector our and go get the rest before someone else goes there without permission and steals your loot!

I was just window shopping. ;D I will let you keep the dime I dropped, but when you find the rest please return them.

Good luck....
 

Ill bet those workers didnt have a MD. Great potential. Someone may have purposely buried money. 8)
