    Hello everyone,
    So I went back to the amazing spot where yesterday I found 4 silvers and 14 Wheats. I was there super early in the morning. It was another good metal detecting hunt with some more great US Coins!

    Silver Barber Dime 1904
    Wheat Cents - 20 in total

    I mentioned 20 Wheat Cents in the Wrap up when the total is actually 25.

    You the MAN! You must wear a 'Deerstalker' when waving that unit over the turf.

    In post #4, the rest of the finds, what is that in the left corner? Hard to tell from the photo, but if it is a bullet, you may want to turn that over to the police. When I was a young deputy, we searched a park in vain for the bullet that had wounded a child at a party in the park. It could have lead to a conviction if we had found it.

    You found a bloody Barber dime metal detecting in the year 2020. That just baffles me.

    Great find.

    Thanks. It is worn and looks like someone stamped a circle into it on the Reverse side. But I still love it!
    I stated that the Dime and one of the Wheat Cents were found stuck together. When I plucked the Dime I saw the Wheat back and it confused me for a second. Then I realized it was a 2 coin spill!

    Paddy:
    Most likely that 'circle' is from a change holder, it frequently causes those circles.
