    Old Baseball field-Day two, my first Barber dime

    Day two I started to grid the baseball field in hopes of finding more silver and I got a 1914S Barber dime!, my first ever.Also dug two no date wheaties that I will have to clean to get a date on.Next came the 1969 British 10 New Pence coin.Second silver was the 1942 Merc.I messed up the video for the barber, bought a new camera and i hit the wrong button...Last good dig before the rain started was a deep iffy signal under some roots, turned out to be an aluminum 1 1/2 cent Illinois tax token which was issued during the depression around the 1930's to make change for a fraction of a cent in order for customers to pay sales tax.Clad=$1.06,Thanks for looking.HH.
