First Barber! (part of a 3-coin spill)

[Dave2000]

My first Barber coin (dime), recovered on Saturday. Clean 82 on my AT Pro, immediately followed by a 1917-P Buffalo (live dig here: https://streamable.com/nlb3) and when I re-checked the site the next day, I picked up a faint signal underneath a log right next to where they were that turned out to be a 1918-P wheat. In addition to my first Barber, the Buffalo is my earliest with a readable date. Very nice detail on the wheat (see pic) so I'm guessing the spill was close to 1918.

This is the same site where I found 4 Draped Bust LC's in a spill last year and I've visited this site often since then with no other noteworthy finds until these. Thanks for looking!

Congrats on pulling those keepers. Seems like that site has plenty more treasures, you'll just have to work for it.

Congrats on your first Barber. It's always nice to pull a first of anything and check it off the bucket list. I've checked at least 6 things off my bucket list in the last 2 years including a 2 real, 1 real, capped bust half cent, 3 cent silver, seated half dollar, seated half dime, Vermont landscape copper and I don't know how, but almost forget, a gold coin. Nice finding the first of anything. Way to go!

Love the coins and I am really stoked about being able to read date on buffalo. Congrats and many more hunts to come.

I was really happy to get a Buffalo with an early, clear date (my last two had been dateless). Most times when I check out this site I leave empty handed, but it's yielded an early 1800s spill and an early 1900s spill.
