Same Spot, Different Result

Went back to the same lot this morning...Since most of the low hanging fruits were picked it was pretty much a salvage. It turns out not too bad at all. I found a 1892 Barber dime, some Wheaties, and a 1970 high school class ring.

    Nice dime.

    I always find it sad when some one loses a class ring even more then any other type of ring. Any plan to find it's original owner?

    Thanks, guys for the comments and CC especially for the heads-up with the links.

    Absolutely. It is unfortunate, however, that the ring was run over (prolly by a lawn mower) and I went to one of the jewelers in town to have it fixed. Guess what, the guy while trying to pull out the band shattered the stone. image

    The ring has the initials J.S. The roster from CC's link has two J.S. combinations, which makes it easier to find the right owner.

    I would be more than happy to return the ring to its original owner.

    Awesome!

    My first Barber dime was an 1899, but you know, though I have dug more than a dozen of 'em since, I have never yet found another from the 1800s. You got the first year of issue! Cool!

    Got any Seated stuff yet? You're getting close, if you haven't. (I can't remember if you've posted any or not).

    I thought, "What is he talkin' about, hunting in an orchard? I thought it was a park?

    Then I caught on to your well-crafted metaphor. image

    LM, If I found one, it would already been posted here.

    When I first saw that dime this morning I thought "This is it. It finally happens!" because I saw the reserve before then I flipped it over, doggone it. image First issue is wonderful too.

    I'm glad you enjoyed my metaphor image
