    1910 was a good year

    Today Neil & I hit a local grove that's been literally pounded to death in recent years so
    I put on the smaller 6x10 coil hoping to squeeze some clad that may have been missed
    by others in the past.

    About 45-minutes into the hunt, I ended up near some huge pines in the middle of the grove
    and got a bouncy, iron/silver signal. After digging 4 or 5-inches, I pulled 3 nails out of the hole
    I just dug and after re-scanning, I got a solid dime signal under a large tree root. 5-minutes later,
    I was the proud owner of a 1910-D Barber Dime in great condition.

    The only other coin I found was a 1910 Wheat. . . on the way back to the car.

    Thanks for looking!

    Re: 1910 was a good year

    You have pulled some amazing Barbers in the last year, and this one is no exception!!!

    I'm glad we each got a little something today, even though your Barber and wheat are older than my Barber and wheat - but who's counting...

    WTG!
    God bless our veterans! Thank you for your sacrifices!

    Yeah baby - that's what you're talking about!
    I wish I was talking about finding barbers too...

    soon - maybe the full moon will draw them towards the surface!

    Wow, 101 years in the dirt and still has the mint luster. Silver is a beautiful thing, isn't it?
