She's damaged goods but still nice

Got out for a bit with Mark today to a spot we've both hit several times before and have had some good luck in. Now it's just the hard to get signals that are left. After we had been there a while, WC comes over and asks if I have any water - and not the drinkin' kind. That's not a good sign! ;D He wanted to rinse off a really sharp oldie! :o

The pressure is on now. After about 2 1/2 hours of junk signals later, I'm getting ready to call it quits when I walked over to where some old trees had been taken out and got a shallow signal in a batch of wood chips. About one inch down was this beauty of a Barber dime. Too bad it didn't quite make it through the stump grinder unscathed. :-\

HH! Spring weather is here! :thumbsup:

To bad the stump grinder got that beauty. Good work when the signals aren't chimming in.

Wow, that Barber IS sharp (sans the damage by the stump grinder).

I don't know how I could have missed that "mulched" stump pile,
I'm going to have to pay closer attention to those next time :P

Anyway, that's a great find :thumbsup:

Your Barber may be younger than Marks, but yours has character!

Hey, she's still worth a couple bucks in the melt pile. Make a ring outta her!

If my barber was that ugly, I'd have long hair and a big beard.... uhh... Hmmm....

Any time you can see LIBERTY in the headband, it's a pretty nice Barber. Wish I'd been lucky enough to check your chip pile! I don't mind the dinks at all.
