With Holidays and work I have not got out in over a week so made the point of going out before work on Friday and spending most of Saturday in the field. Friday resulted in 3 silver and 4 wheats in a Park I would of been happy to find 1 wheatie. Nice to be surprised going in with low expectations. Saturday I wanted to road trip but a storm was passing through and I did not feel like driving in the rain. I ended up at the spot I found the barber Half a while back and actually was hoping to find a Barber dime. I did and it was a gem. A 1907 "O" that is really nice. Ironically, I found probably the most wore Merc I ever found as well. Ended the day with 3 Mercs and the Barber along with 4 more wheats. On the day I dug 103 coins and over $11 in clad so I was beat when I finally quit. I also found 4 silver trinkets with the oddball being a buckle of sorts saying "German silver" on back. The tone and numbers tell me this is NOT silver, but a neat find none the less. Also, found my 2nd Pocket watch of the season but it was a cheapie so I did not take a photo. Keep swinging Wisconsin Digger Included a few field pictures as I have never taken the camera along before.

Very nice, that Barber really is sweet looking! Congrats on a great hunt. Just wish the rain would let up long enough to stop digging mud.
 
It amazes me that you can still find that amount of silver in parks. That Barber is a beauty, :congrats:
Congrats on your finds and all that clad.:wow:
 
Congrats on all those wonderful finds! That Barber Dime must have been brand new when it was dropped. It's a real looker! :loveit:

:congrats:
 
Nice finds with all those silvers. That barber is pretty sweet condition. That buckle was prob plated. Didn't think Germans could cut corners. :lol:.
