First Barber Dime

[richdigger]

I hunted four about an hour and had not found much a clad quarter and a dime. The next target was bouncing between iron and a dime signal I decided to go ahead and dig. I got a nail about about 4 in then scanned the hole again and it read dime every time on the BH. I dug about another 2 inches and it was out of the hole I saw the rim in the dirt and knew it was silver. The next thing I saw was 1916 I was hoping it was a Merc took it over to a puddle and washed it and to my surprise it was a barber. I could not believe it my first Barber and it is in great condition. I also found a little pewter something I hit it with the digger from the same area I will definitely be back.

Let me see if the sizing is better.

That would explain the mysterious bump that has always been in that part of the lawn.

I found my first about a month ago, but it wasn't quite as big as yours.

Nice dig there
