Hunted out?

I was hunting a very old one room school house that I thought for sure was hunted out. I had a little time and it is close to home. I had a couple of people watching so when I popped it I wanted to Woo hoo, But I kept my cool and put in the bag. The car ride home was a different story. It’s my first barber dime and oldest coin. I only hit it for about an hour.

Way to go! My first barber dime was also a 1900 plain. Imagine that. Hope there are lots more out there for you!

Big congratulations Hughett... both on your oldest coin and your first Barber. That's quite a double-header! Bonus points for stifling your excitement in front of the Lookie-loos. Not an easy thing to do...
