How often do you find a silver like this laying on top of the ground?!!

There seems to be quite a run of Barber Halves in the last week or two, so I thought I'd throw mine in the ring. I found it just this morning at a park about 10 miles from my home. I noticed a few weeks back, that they were doing a lot of dirt work in there. Putting in a new tot lot for the kids, adding new park benches, etc. I was out there about an hour digging clads, when I stumbled onto an area where I was walking into the sun. I noticed a glint up ahead, & was thinking large screw cap. When I got closer, I couldn't believe it was a Barber Half laying right on top of the dirt they were working. Also picked up a 44 Wheat on top of the ground. That was it for the morning, along with the 25 clad coins (which ironically, I had to dig ) ! A fellow club member of mine picked up a Merc, and Barber Quarter out there last week. Think I'll be headed back next weekend ! Good luck to all.

Nice surprise and "good eye" as they say. It always pay to use the eyeballs as well as the MD.

Wow that's awesome! Congrats on the surface Barber Half! Good luck on your return trip there gotta be a few more keepers there.

I lucked up on a Barber quarter laying on the surface. I was doing some work on a property line and saw a quarter laying on the ground and thought for sure it was a modern Washington. It was a big surprise to see it was a Barber. I figured out it was right next to a fence post that was installed a couple of years ago and brought it up to the surface when they dug the post.

Not found by me, but Brother-in-law found a silver dollar in a cow trail while deer hunting where a county fair was held around 1900ish.

Nice find!

I have found a few nice silver coins in the farm field on the surface after a good plow.
