Hello, :hello:

I was hunting the hunted out town ball field that was a school in the 1800's, just to get out some before winter. :tongue3: My hunting partner and I have pulled out a lot from this park. :icon_thumleft: That was heavily searched by the Disco-tectors in the 70's- 80's. :icon_scratch: Not really expecting to find anything we were hunting a trashy area. ??? As I turned to go into the ball diamond, I Just happened to get a nice silver signal (VDI 81-82 on the MXT) just around the corner of the dug out. :dontknow: I dig it and at a few inches out pops a 1900 S Barber Dime !!! :o I LoL, told my partner and put it away.... :hello2: Here are some before and after cleaning pictures I hope you enjoy !! :notworthy: :headbang:

Keep @ it and HH !! ;D :D
