1903 Barber Dime on my last day of vacation!

[oddcoins]

Hello!

WOW ~ the weather today was nice & hot! I wasn't planning on going detecting ~ I stayed home and watched the Mariners play the Red Soxs (Mariners won 3-2!). I've been off of work all week and I have to go back on Monday ~ BOO . . . .BOOOOOO!!!!

This evening my wife suggested that we go downtown to a park so I can detect and she can lay out in the sun. My buddy Ron is letting me use his Explorer SE. I've been using it with the 8'' coil, just trying to get use to all it's noises & such. But today I was brave and put on the PRO coil . . . . HOLY CRAP ~ this thing sounds so much different than the White's XLT that I've been using for the last 10 years! It taking me a little while to get use to, but I'm getting it, slowy but surely.

We ended up downtown in a big lawn area near the University of Oregon campus ~ a place that we've pounded heavily for a few years now. I was hoping that I could dig some deep targets with the PRO coil ~ sure enough I dug a 1903 Barber dime at 5 or 6 inches deep! Not super deep, but deep enough! I also dug some clad, but nothing else too exciting.

This Barber dime is my silver coin find #34 for the year!

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Neil, nice Barber! Man, I feel your pain about having to go back to work. It seems the longer you are gone, the harder it is to go back. We've had a couple of rotating layoffs at work, and it is definitely tough to go back after a week off. (The second one was worse than the first!)

HH,

Great job, Neil! I think you ought to post all of your vacation coins together, including anything you have from a few years back. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to see them.

At 5-6" deep, your XLT would have found that barber for sure. It's the 8-9" coins in trash that your XLT will pass over, that the SE would pick up, but to get those deepies, you've got to have more than a few hours detecting with the "silver magnet". Ron is a very nice guy to let you use one of his machines.

Congrats on your '03 barber, Neil. If that only had an "S" mint, you'd have big $$$.
