Went out today to meet up with my old buddy t-bucket to do some News Years Day Detecting. We both need to start the New Year off right with some silver finds. It was quite cold out and i knew I could not stand it to long. Within 5 minutes of swinging I got a nice silver sound @ 6" that turned out to be a 1954 Rosie in nice shape. I spent another 50 minutes detecting only finding clad so I decided to get into my car to warm back up. I went over to t-bucket to check his finds and he had found a nice 1942 Mercury Dime. He said he was quite cold and was going home. I decided to check out the old city park that I have done quite well in this summer. I was there for 20 minutes and got a slight chirp @ 4". I then rotated 90 degrees and swung again. The chirp repeated. When I dug target it was on it's side in frozen ground. I broke the clod apart and could see the edge of the coin. Boy when I got the coin out I was amazed at the condition of it. Here are pics. Enjoy and thanks for looking.

That is one great looking Barber dime. You deserved it for sticking it out in those conditions!

Was that Barber still sitting between the two die halves? Man, I don't think I've ever seen one that mint.
