I found my first silver of the year!!! I found it on my 5th time out since coming home to the States. Me & my wife were poking around up in Ludington. After getting tired of digging clad and all of the surface zinc pennies I spied an area and went to check it out. A few swings later I pulled out this 1899 barber Dime. Not the best one I've dug but it's a keeper and pretty cool that my first silver of the year turned out to be a Barber!

We also dug $2.31 in clad, an amusement token, and a marble:

Today I'm doing yard work and maybe tonight I'll go out and see what I can find again.

Nice Find Sgt. Silver from the 1800's is always welcome. Keep it up J.
