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!!

I sure did......I did not even clean the dirt off until I got home to see what year it was!!! I was with my older brother about 24 years ago whe he dug his first one in an old church parking lot. I had never saw one before. His was 1906........I thought it was a very neat coin. After detecting seriously for about 13 yrs, I finally pulled one out of the ground!!! I hope there will be more to follow!!
