Decided to go out for a little bit tonight, so I called stratos and away we went. Was there about 30 minutes and had only found a modern penny. Then it happened. An 81 comes screaming into my headset. Dig out the plug, about 7 inches down and beautiful shiny dime comes popping out. Hello 1907 Barber dime!!!! [emoji4] Threw my hands up in excitement, couldn't believe it. This is my first silver and my oldest coin. Took me about 10 minutes to quit staring at it with a huge grin and to put my headset on and keep going. The greatest joy was finding it with my dad along my side though and seeing him just as excited for me. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1442450225.656238.jpg

Big time congrats.
Put that bad boy in a coin folder, date it and mark it 1st Silver Coin. You will never forget where you found it.

That was sort of a trifecta, 1st silver, oldest coin, and 1st barber all rolled into one. Congrats, the way you worded your post shows that your heart is still racing. Enjoy the feeling. Hope you have many more in the future.

Thank you everyone. As relic said, it's very hard to describe that feeling. Can't wait till the next one. [emoji4]
