That's a mercury or liberty dime minted from 1916 to 1945.
Barber dimes were minted from 1892 through 1915.
What you want on that particular coin is a 1942, 2 over 1 mint error.
Still a great find! Would your old machine have found it or??

Sweet silver Merc with nice detail! Congrats!
Somebody was probably sitting in the shade between the trees and lost it long ago.

It's actually called a "Winged Liberty" dime...It's often called a "Mercury dime" or Merc here, but the use of the term Mercury is a misnomer

Congrats on the Merc! And don't worry about numismatic terms because you would go nuts if you corrected everyone in America that called 1/100th of a dollar a "Penny". It is a Cent.
