    Blank Silver Coin?

    Hello, I dug up this coin I believe and it doesn't have any writing on it. Anyone know what this could be? Also there is a tab that looks folded over on the one edge. Please see attached photos and thank you!

    First Barber

    I found my first Barber Dime. I was swinging my Garrett AT Pro at an old house site that I had gained permission to hunt. I found some junk and a few wheats when I got a solid 82 signal. I dug down about 6 inches and I saw a glimpse of silver. Thinking I found a Rosie, I was shocked when a...

    Reeded edge coin with square hole. Cash coin?

    I have spent a lot of time trying to find something like this online and failed so I am leaning towards this not being a coin. There is some lettering that can be seen in the right light.
