New Old Park Round Two - More Indians and Barbers

[Tony Two-Cent]

This morning I got up before dawn and headed back to the old park I hunted yesterday. I started detecting at about 6:30 a.m. and hunted until 10:30 a.m. Not as many Indian Heads this time but I still managed a few keepers.

The first Indian Head I found yesterday was dated 1892 and again today my first Indian Head was also dated 1892. I ended up finding more wheat cents than Indian Heads today.

Today I concentrated around the old horseshoe pitching area, and I found two Barber Dimes there. Both of them are in decent shape. I also found two old rings that were smashed. One of them is a whistle ring I think, and it has Egyptian symbols on it.

Here are my finds for the day:


And here are the keepers:


Here is the 1903 Barber Dime:



And the 1905-O Barber Dime:



This park is split down the middle by an alley, and I've yet to detect the front half where the playground equipment is. Gotta be more there!

Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

Great hunting Tony, those Barbers look great. Hope the other side of the park is just as productive.

Awesome Tony! Love those Barbers! Can't wait to see what comes out of the front part. Keep us posted. Congrats! |:cheering:

Tony, I was digging Indians this morning at 6:30 too! I didn't get the memo regards digging silver though ...and I guess our 6:30s are different too....so forget that....nice coins!

A quick Google search tells me that one of the rings I found is a Jack Armstrong Egyptian Whistle Ring from 1938. Mine is badly smashed, I don't know if I will be able to straighten it or not. Here's what it should look like:

 

[Tony Two-Cent]

Well, I got the Egyptian Whistle Ring straightened out as best as I could. Unfortunately the spinner part is missing. Oh well, at least it is identifiable now. Too bad it isn't in better shape, I saw one listed on eBay for $185.

Congrats on the nice kepers. Those Barbers are in good shape ,so are the Indians. I remember sending away for one of those whistle rings from a cereal company,when I was a kid. Wish I still had it.
