Hunted three times in the past few weeks at a few different water spots. Best finds were a modern silver cufflink last weekend and tonight I found my first modern silver dime from the water as well as the 1893 O Barber dime which would have probably been worth a bit if not from the water. Also got my first leach on me too lol

Nice going on the old silver. I rarely break into the 1800s. It’s always welcome. Keep it up!

Nice hunting! Keep at it and just maybe there will be a gold coin in that water and it will come out nice. I'd be happy with the silvers even if in bad shape.

Thanks. Ill take black sometimes corroded silver over none at all because thats what Id be finding if I hunted land this time of year and I dont do yards either so thats out. Still hunting for my first gold from the water

This particular spot has a very rocky bottom so its still fun but it makes for some difficult target recoveries

Congrats on the Barber! I like it when they have that black patina. If the leech was bit by a tick that had lyme.... you are a trooper for digging there. Congrats
