Barber Dime, Merc, Indian Head Cents

Late this afternoon I decided to hit a CT site I had been to once last year. At that time my Gray Ghost headphones had broken while digging a target, cutting my hunt short, so a return trip was due. It was slow going at first, but eventually I did score with a few good finds, a 1897 Barber dime, a 1918-S mercury dime, and two Indian Head cents, dated 1905 and 1908.

Great hunt Angel. The Barber looks like it is very nice shape. :smitten:

Yeah, and it didn't help that the first three months were lost due to the bad weather we had. >:{ And I had to give up detecting for most of June too. :crying02: But at least I am making up with the Indian Head cents. :happydance01: lol

I have been putting off doing some shallow water detecting at the lakes and ponds due to the high level of water. I can't get to the desired locations to reach the old stuff. :) Perhaps a beach trip to the shore is in order. lol
 
Yet another great hunt. It's amazing on the great conditions of your finds. With my finds, I usually have to spend half a day trying to figure out if it's a coin. lol
