Hunting the woods with Silver Star

[Ill Digger]

Mike invited Theola and I out to hunt a set of woods Tuesday. ( I'm a little late lol ) This place was suppose to have some long history of big events from the mid 1800's. My first good find was a 1899 Barber dime! :shocked04: :happydance01: A while later I got a weird zinc /screw cap reading. But deep :confused: :dontknow: So I dig down and pulled out a 1864 IH :shocked04: The PP was still screaming down in the hole! :drool: I pried out the side of the hole and seen silver! :shocked04: It was a 1892 Barber dime! :shocked04: |:confused:) The PP was STILL screaming!!In a area about 24 inches by 12 inches big I ended up with 5 IH's: 1864, 1888, 1890, 1890,1891, plus the dime!! :omg: <: I also found a 1895 Barber dime before leaving! :happydance01: Unreal!! 3 Barbers in one day! Not to mention the IH's! |:confused:) I'm just on cloud nine :daydream:
I also found a cool token I'm having a hard time figuring out. :confused: I know It's a Masons coin of some sort . But for what? :dontknow:
Here's some pictures :grin:

It looks like someone was trying to modify the 1892 Barber to say &quot:daydream:NE DIE :dontknow: Why? I couldn't tell ya. lol :rolleyes:
