Key date Barber...and she's BEAUTIFUL

This morning I went back to my old faithful spot, but this time I went a little further than what I consider the hottest area. It paid off huge to say the least. After digging a bunch of shell casings and junk, I got a deep signal, bouncing from the 50's to the 70's. I cut my plug and was delighted to see a V nickel. I put the plug back in the hole and stepped on it, an then as I always do, I ran my coil over the plug before carrying on. I got a sweet signal. Hmm, ok re-dig the plug, scoop the loose dirt out, pro pointer said to dig down deeper. Two inches deeper this Barber dime laid patiently while my blade sliced the dirt around it, I sure am glad I didn't nick this one. I saw it was a nice Barber dime, my nicest one yet in fact. It's also my first one with a mint mark. I had to come home quickly and check it out.

My 2012 RedBook lists a 1903s Barber dime in EF-40 at $700!!!

Ok...bite to eat, back to detecting....

Thanks everybody. I went back to the same spot after lunch and scored one more coin-- a 1908s Barber dime.

That 1903s dime is my all time most valuable coin find. I'll never forget it...what a day!

Nice find! This thread caught my eye because my own most valuable find in my whole detecting career so far is...drum roll.... a 1903-S dime! Mine was dug in Ithaca NY in 1999, a long way away from San Francisco. Mine has a bit more wear that yours, but its surfaces are attractive and undamaged for a dug coin. What a thrill to dig a key date and then see it's in marvelous condition!
