    Saved Another Barber

    I had a real busy week this past week and didn't make it out at all. However, last week I found these on two short morning hunts where they were pulling some sidewalks.

    Nice that you got to save these before the concrete was pored. Marbles are always a welcome surprise. Were you able to get a date off that Barber?

    I some nice saves there! Barber looks to be 1910. Funny how so many of those sidewalk coins seem so beat up and silvers are so often almost smooth.
    Equipment:
    Minelab: CTX 3030, GPX 4800, X-Terra 705. Whites TDI SL.

    2024: Silver 1, Gold 0
    Best finds: 28 silver dime spill, 1800s Dutch customs seal.
    Oldest/best coins: Late 1700's Chinese Cash Coin, 1837 Upper Canada large cent, 1877 Seated Dime
    Oldest Relic find: 1800 Sailors Luck token

    Man you are the king on those sidewalk tearouts! All the ones around me are roped off with no chance of detecting due to liability concerns etc. Way to go!
