Ventured to a town called Carrizozo, NM today (about 50 miles from where I live) and went to the town park there. First thing I dug out was a 1903 barber dime!! Kind of knelt there in shock for a few seconds thinking "no way" to myself, then realized the metal detecting gods were being nice to me today. This is the first barber coin that I have found. But Mother Nature was not being kind and about 45 minutes into the hunt sent a storm my way and washed me out. Oh well, it's cool......as Arnold once said....."I'll be back" ;D

Good find
In NM, maybe you'll get on some Spanish silver too
 
Congrats on your first barber..always nice to find that silver and a first to boot.
 
Nice find. If mother nature had really been cruel she would have rained you out before the hunt. ;D

Sweet looking dime.

Friday before last I found my first merc, 1917, it was the first coin I dug that day(couldn't believe it either,) went on to find a 46' rosie, and a 43' washington. Haven't got a barber yet, and it looks in fairly good shape, much better than my merc.

Good luck,
HH.
 
SWEET Barber dime there man! I hope you find a lot more! CONGRAT'S!!!!
 
Congratulations on the Barber it looks good. Bob
 
It is always nice to find a first. I can remember the exact spot that I found my first Barber Dime and last month I found my first Barber Quarter...now I just need the half. Keep at it and there will be more to come.

Congratulations
