Out trying a spot out of town where we are working. Noticed a large stone wall and mauled on if we should try it or not for weeks. Finally we said screw it. Walked ontop of the small hill near the road and got what I thought was a Sosa can becasus there was trash laying about. I said crew it, let's pull a plug and see what kind of soda it is. Pulled the plug and wasn't in the plug, got another shovel full of dirt out and noticed something red and groved. Though it was a piece of brass. Picked it up and it was a small thing of leather with a rivet on it. I'm thinking that was my signal. Stood up and gave it another swing and still a loud tone. Poked around the dirt to see if I could see a sofa can but noticed some roundness. Picked it up and seen it was a wheat penny. Now I'm thinking that was it, that was my signal. But i always swing over it untill I don't get a tone, sure enough another tone. I stated to put it all together then. A piece of leather with a rivet and wheat cent and another signal in the hole, I knew I had a spill and that's the coin purse. So I walk over to my uncle who's digging with me and tell him " hey I think I have a coin spill, I don't know if you want to come witness this", he said BS!!..I showed him what I found. He was interested and said I'll come record it. Got back to the hole and he didn't have his phone with him and I said screw it, let's just see what's in here. Used the pin pointer and found another wheat, then another. Great just a wheat spill, but keep diggin and bam, a sheen of silver. Thinking it's a merc, started to clean it off and seen 1911, wow my first barber dime. Let's keep going, a few more wheats and another sheen of silver, a 1917 merc, keep diggin and now a bigger coin showed. Hoping it was a barber due to the barber dime, sure enough a barber waiter, my first. Now I've dug plenty of old coppers including a 1794 chain cent and 1698 half Penney, reales and seated silvers but never barbers. Funny how that works.
Hope you enjoy. I will post more pictures once I get back home. Hotel internet sucks and only managed to upload one pic. Try the others and the page crahses.

Take that 1911 dime and mount it in a Colt 1911 Government Model pistol grip, that would be cool!
