Stopped and went through one block of a sidewalk tearout yesterday and found these two oldies in front a house that was built in 1910. Both were right in the middle of the trench where the sidewalk used to be, and I was lucky enough to rescue them.

Congrats on the silver and Indian. They cleaned up good. It looks like the IH may even clean up a little better.

Very nice for 1/2 hour hunt. Always love to see Barbers posted up here. Nice IH also. Will you have any more sidewalk tearouts in the future. I personally love detecting those, its like virgin turf

Unfortunately this was the last block of this project and I have missed most of the rest of it over the past 3 weeks, been too busy at work. I know they will be starting more, but this was the end of them in this section of town.

Good job on rescuing those two old coins! :clapping:

Nice Barber Dime and Indian Head! The IH looks like it still has nice detail on it. Too bad the date is hidden.

Congrats on the super finds! :happydance01:
