[QUOTE="kkm, post: 8287984, member: 109476"]For my spring break from college, I spent a week in West Virginia and put in several hours of metal detecting. Here are my best coin finds: 1873 Indian cent - This is my new oldest coin found with a metal detector. It was a couple inches down in front of an old granary building on my relatives' property. [ATTACH=full]1464606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1464607[/ATTACH] 1905 Barber dime - Found in a yard where I found a 1907 Barber dime last year. [ATTACH=full]1464610[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1464611[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1464622[/ATTACH] 1909 Barber dime - Found a couple feet from the last Barber dime.
