Metal Detecting
Hit my own yard again for a short time along the fence line where I have detected before. Found a handful of clad coins, 2 old keys-the one on the left is a (Hurd Lock and Manufacturing - Greeneville Tennessee - For General Motors Cars), and a first metal detecting find for me - an 1899 Barber dime in pretty good shape.

Sweeeet find
 

Great find! I have found 4 of them...and still havent broken into the 1800s with a Dime..lol

Keep at it!
 

Cool find, love them Barbers, heck I love all silver coins. Keep swinging, you'll find more.
 

I found my first B Dime in my own yard as well..I was stunned, now that you got one, I am happy for you!
 

Thank you for sharing your hunt and those pictures with us
 

Found my first Barber dime in December, have found two silver dimes since then, both Barbers! Waiting on seated now, but I'll take a Barber any day! Congrats.
 

Thanks all! In my own yard now along with many early wheat cents and about a dozen Indian head cents I also have found an 1865 2 cent piece, an 1888 seated Liberty dime, and a 1789 2 reales. Will continue looking.

Great job. All the posts you have showing what you found on your property blows me away. All I can find is weeds and ant hills with an occasional mix of worthless iron from some dump site. Keep going strong!!...Brad
