I don't know what it was, but this coin had eluded me until yesterday. Got out with the two Jim's to a very historic site, we had high hopes for some nice relics but after a few hours of digging modern trash at 12" we were losing hope. The 2 Jim's had already given up and were laying in the field taking it easy as i was walking back to the car. I was on automatic pilot, I don't have a clue how the dime hit on my XLT, I just know i wasn't expecting a coin. There is no rhyme or reason to how deep things are, after all the deep modern trash this dime was just under the sod, go figure.

Congratulations on that awesome piece of silver. I wish you many more, and judging by the photos you provided, there should be more around the front and back of that home.

I know, it is almost embarrassing.

Don't feel sorry for me.

I have a lot of other good stuff to make up for it.

I know how you feel. been doin this 4 years now and have yet to find a merc or silver rosie. found barbers and seated though (which I'm not complaing about ;D ). Go figure
 
Congrats on the first Barber.....I know you most likely snagged onto some gold coins and just flat out skipped the Barbers! :tongue3: jgas
 
Check you out Deno ! Congrats =]
 
i have been at it for 3 years and no barber yet thats a good 1st
 
It's never too late! Great job.
 
Hey, the wait was worth it!!! It looks like it's in beautiful condition!!! :thumbsup:
 
I was just telling oddcoins the other day that after 20+ years I have never found a watch fob. It was a great feeling to get that one, I know! It's in excellent condition too!
 
that is one sweet dime
 
Wow, your FIRST Barber, Congrats.

I know there have to be some old one room school houses in Ky. Check some of those out, I bet you will find more Barbers and even some seated coins and lots of Indian Heads.
