Cool, is this former structure marked on any maps or visible in aerial photos, or is it a mystery site?

Metal detecting is still fun even if you don't find Barber halves. Went back today and found a few things. I covered all the hot spots and the surrounding area pretty good. So I'm keeping my eye out for the next spot. Thank y'all.

The aerials only go back to 1951 here and there is nothing visible. The owner doesn't remember a structure being there. The field where I found 2 shield nickels last year is within walking distance so there is a lot of old activity in this area.

Nice, that’s a tougher year to find and also one of the key dates in the series.

I love big Silver, but then, I love small silver too LOL. In my book, your half is once in a life find, biggy congrats.
