Hello, I was finishing up the last few scraps of a house that exceeded all my expectations. It has given me numerous wheats, silver roosie, saloon token, and some odds and ends. I got stuck with the dump part of the yard next to a collapsed carriage house. I got a zinc signal at three inches and it took some real motivation to dig it up- glad I did. A 1906 barber dime in nice shape popped out and made my day. I also got a 1913 wheat as well. There are plenty of ghost signals left, so I wil be back. Also, I got this Ford cap near the dump. Any idea on age, use?

Super barber. Nice going on digging that zinc signal. The Ford cap is a cap for the end of an axle. Model T age I think, might be used on later models also, not sure.

Model T is right. Nice 1913. Maybe you can find a 1914D. Barbers are always fun to find. Yours appears to be dark?? Maybe some soil conditions stained it or ??
 

Good job on the Barber and lincoln cent. I'm sure there's more waiting for you.
 

wonder why your dfx gave you a zinc signal on a silver dime?
 

It does appear to be a Model T hub cap. Here's a photo of one used between 1915-1925. Looks about the same as your find.
