Really starting to like water hunting especially if I can keep finding old coins like this. Its hard to find good spots though that are both old and accessible with hard bottom and not sanded in. New spot with rocky bottom looks promising with my first ever first year 1892 Barber dime. :hello2:

Awesome find, it doesn’t by chance have an ‘S’ on the reverse side of the coin?
 
I love how coins look coming out of the water too. Nice going!!
 
Congrats on a nice coin.
 
A question on your river hunting, are you just hitting old swim holes?

My partner and I are only hitting the swim holes. Should we "expand" our areas?

This area I found it in was below a bluff about 100 yards down the beach from what was probably a swimming hole and landing back in the day. Older home up on the bluff too. Ill hunt any rocky or otherwise hard bottomed shoreline I can spot from my boat though

Nice find and Congratulations. Are you wading or diving ?
 
Congrats on a nice old Barber.

Thanks. Just wading and not even that deep yet. Im contemplating getting a nice stealth or trex scoop to make recovering targets a little easier in deeper water I hope.
 
Congrats, it's in great shape too! I just started hunting creeks and found my first Silver. It's nice to hunt around water in summer!
 
Good score, Congrats!
