First time out this season I was hunting the old Asawood school grounds this afternoon in Libby, Montana and found an 1899 P Barber Dime ! Found it about 2 1/2 inches in the ground. Shocked the heck out of me as I have been hunting this same area since 1979. Found several modern coins at the high school grounds today to. Not a bad start to the season.
