My first Barber!

ringking76 · Nov 2, 2015

I've been MD for over 4 yrs and found some great coins and relics and Saturday I dug this Barber up. It's not my oldest coin but it's my oldest silver.I found it in a city that's only about 70 yrs old so I was surprised to get it.
It's rough but it's a beauty.

Neat first Barber! :icon_flower:

This also is my 4th detecting year. My extremely worn fave coin dug last month is an 1888 V nickel dug close to the surface in high-ground beach area I'd detected many times before. Finally I'd broken into the 1800's, lol. Also confirmed my research that certain areas of beaches here have a few "oldies" emerging during months which have alternating extreme high & extreme low tides.

Have Fun! :icon_thumright:

Congrats on your first Barber.

My very first silver was a Barber dime. I thought that I would be finding them regularly, little did I know that a year would pass before another one showed up! Best of luck to you in the field!
