when everything is slow around here, we have an area that occasionally gives up stuff. its been awhile since i got anything older than a mercury dime. was very happy to see the 1911s dime.

    That last item on the right looks like an old bottle opener.

    Is that what it is?

    I was hunting in one of my favorite parks the other day, on the spot where I had found my own 1911-S dime way back when. I was hoping for another Barber. Didn't get one, though. Boy, I sure wish I had something other than hammered-out, overpicked sites to hunt. I need to start using my noggin a little more and get outta the rut.

    Congrats!

    BTW, what's the rest of that little brass plaque say? I can see "1906" and "Patt(ern)" and "Size", but what else is there?

    you guessed the plaque correctly.

    out of dozens of barber dimes dug, that was my first 1911s. i always hope i'm gonna get a date and or MM i have'nt dug yet. i must have dug at least 20 1900s dimes and really hope i don't find that one again.

    this site is hammered. i've been hitting it for almost 20 years now.

    That was it? There wasn't anything else? Just "1906", "Patt(ern)", and "Size"?

    Hm.
