    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...

    Coin and some items...1700s-1800s

    Question on the very thin coin that has a bust facing right. It looks like there are stars around the head. The back looks like there is a horse or dog. I found the large cent in the same area. Not sure what it may be. Also, the iron piece that looks like a wedge of some sort. Any help?

    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. Pence possibly and a date that can look like 1901 and 1861 depending on the light don't let the picture fool...

    Our Yard 3

    Well, after looking up old maps and reading some history, I was in the mood for digging. It was about 8pm and drizzling outside. I tossed on a cheap headlamp and went in the back yard again. I know I startled at least two people. One was a neighbor walking their dog. I was digging a plug and had...
