    Trifecta- Seated,Barber,Merc

    Sunday morning was so nice that I pulled another two-a-day. My morning hunt was a 2hr cellar hole excursion where I found everything pictured but the Barber. I was glad to find that colonial buckle piece as I know that site is old, but everything I've found there up to that point was from the late 19th century or 20th-century.

    In the afternoon I hit a park that has been very good to me this year. The Barber was deeper than the length of my 9in pro-pointer. Odd...my machine said 83 from all directions and 8in, with a "coin tone." I was excited BUT when I got to 8in and didn't hear it on my pointer, AND it then went up to 95, I was depressed. That means large iron...maybe an ox shoe. Then I popped it out I'll take it!!

    I also found a pigeon band that says "AU42 Fall River" on it. Turns out that Fall River MA has a Pigeon racing club and the AU is their abbreviation, 42 is the year. I'm going to ask them if they want it.
    Thanks for looking!

    Very nice finds! I found a bird band once, sent in somewhere, can't remember where, and they sent me a whole sheet back about the bird and there program.

    Good job on the dime trifecta, Drew!

    That 1852 Seated Dime is a real beauty. We don't find them that old very often here in Illinois. That cellar hole must have been used as a home site for many decades.

    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves

    Nice trifecta Drewsy. (Druzy is the real spelling). Lol.... I sometimes get shocked when I hear nothing but iron grunts and clicks and then there's a 80s or 90s vdi. I almost don't trust it. That bird tag is pretty cool. I am used to seeing the regular DEP (DEEP) ones which are all mangled when you find them.
    Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.

    Thanks, guys! Al, that park has history back to English settlement. It wasn't always a park, though.

    Hey Drew, the Fall River Racing pigeon club is 1 mile down the road from my house. My deceased father in law was a big time pigeon racer. That could be a band from one of his!

    Is there a serial number on the band ?
