1898 Barber Dime and 44 Merc # 82 silver

[DPBOB]

Got up early to meet up with Kimsdad at an old homestead site.
Got to the site and noticed I had some voicemails on my phone.
Kimsdad couldn't make it out.
Skinny Puppy showed up and we hunted a bit in all the thickets.
Decided that we should try else where.....But Where ?
Rang the doorbell at one place but no answer.
Eyed a place after driving around a bit.
Rang the bell and no answer at first. We were standing and talking when the owner come out.
Introduced ourselves and explained the hobby and then asked the proverbial question. Would it be ok to metal detect your property?
"Sure go ahead "

Wheat penny  after Wheat penny was being found.

Finally a 1944 Merc after a dozen wheats
Then I got a target at 6 inches and out popped a 1898 Barber Dime.. ( Worn ) ( 82nd silver for the year )

After chatting with the owner for a while I took off for a family party and Skinny Puppy stuck around.

I got 23 Wheat Pennies
3 Nickels 1940 1946 & 1956
and some clad..
2 play money coins from 1950
1 Junk ring.

Had a blast.. and I got to keep all the stuff this hunt...

Skinny Puppy did great too.

Awesome Hunt....

What's up with all the dang barbers rubbed almost smooth?

Smooth barber coins simply mean that the coin was used in circulation for many years (up to 40, maybe a little more) after it was minted. Years of circulation of the coin has caused it to get thin.

Congrats, Bob! That's a lot of wheats for a couple of silvers, but you gotta take what the ground give you!
