It was above freezing today so I decided to go find a spot to hunt. Stopped at a ball park & started swinging the coil. I found $1.16 in clad & a silver butterfly ear ring. Just about ready to leave & I swung the coil over the end of the warning track which is cinders. I got a solid dime signal & it sounded like it was right on top, so I scraped the top inch with off with my screwdriver and saw what I thought was a clad penny. Picked it up and dusted it off, My first barber 1915 s in great shape. This park has been hunted for 40+ years, I don't know if the dime was brought in with the cinders or it has just been waiting there for me and the MXT.

Congratulations on that barber, it's kind of a semi key date, that is the better the condition the more it goes up in value compared to other dates! Got a picture?

Congrats on your first Barber.
That sure is quite a feeling when you pull one of those out of the ground.

Well not a ton but I think I made enough to buy a little gold. Keep your eye open for a good deal on a gold coin, you know I lnow nothing about what to buy. If you hear of anything let me know.
