Anytime I can get permission to hunt private property I'm on it, especially if its old. Today I was able to get permission to hunt a house built
in the 1940's. I started my hunt on the front yard only finding a couple of wheaties and some Lincolns. I then worked my way to the back and side yards
and dug a 1916 barber dime at one inch! Continuing my hunt after the barber only yielded a few more Lincoln cents. So sometimes getting permission can pay off!
It turned today to be an OK day!

Beautiful find! I've only got 2 Barber dimes to my name. Not sure why they are so scarce for me. I've got 6 Barber quarters. :icon_scratch: Super cool coin man! Neat to get one from the final year of the series too.
