Well she is not in the best shape in the world but atleast she is a barber dime!!! Seems like I am finding some older coins now. I am not sure if it is due to me upgrading to an Xterra 50 or not but, I am sure it did not hurt in doing so!! Dug a few cruddy ole wheats and a small copper compact with a broken mirror too. The dime was worthy of a post I thought............Anyways Happy hunting everyone!!

Yea I had hit this place a couple of times before......The owner had put in a paved driveway next to his house. I had found a couple of wheaties and some clad..I thought it was going to be another clad because it registered as only 2" deep. Well I was surprised!!! I only found one other wheat in the yard and decided to look on another part........Well only one silver this time out.but it is better than none at all!!! Thanks for the nice compliments guys.

Another congrats on your first Barber. I'm sure there'll be many more. That Minelab is one hell of a detector. My Explorer has done real good for me. I just ordered a new SE Pro loop from Backwoods Detectors in Tennessee. Hope to get even deeper with it. HH
