Well I got out this morning with Dan32981 before it got too hot and the bugs too thick. We went back to the site we hit last week where I found the mini pocket spill(35' Washington, 41' Merc and 36' Buffalo) and Nose_4_Nails found his first piece of silver(a 44' Merc). We hunted for about 3 hours. The signals were few and far between, but I managed to find a couple of wheaties. A 36' and 38'. Then I got a really good signal that had a little depth to it. I just knew it was something good. I was right! Out popped a 1914 D Barber dime. It is an absolute beauty! The pictures do not do this coin justice! It still has mint luster! The best dug Barber I have ever found! I have posted before and after cleaning pictures of the dime. I also found an old button, anyone know the age? and a whatsit. Thanks for looking everyone. Happy Hunting!

WTG that barber does have a nice shine, but what happened to pics of your other finds?

it does look great was wondering how did you clean it?if you did clean it

Thanks for your reply Goldeagle. I just let the dime soak in some warm water and dish detergent. Then a gentle rinse and wipe with a cloth.

Thanks Dan32981, crazyjarhead, hikeinmts and MarkinIa. Diggin' that barber sure gave me a rush especially when I got it home and cleaned it up a bit. I wish they all came out of the ground in that good of shape. Thanks again for the replies and HH!
