I hunted a field on my family's land where I suspect there may have been an old homesite today. I found a bunch of iron items, and then I found this 1900 Barber. I couldn't believe it when I popped it out of the ground. I also found the guts of and old pocket watch.
We're it me, I would have carved her up like a turkey, as that's what I do whenever I find my "first" ...
Congratulations on recovering such a beautiful coin!
Nice silver find! The iron is good, it means humans have been there and have lost goodies. A field absent of lead and iron is a dead field. Good Luck in 2016!
