Over the weekend I detected an area of a park near Lake Superior where they allowed camping in the early 1900's. Well it payed off because after being there for about 10 minutes I dug a 1912 Barber dime (no mint mark) that was about 3-4" down. The coin looks to be in real good shape. What an exciting evening!

Wow Dave that is a sweet Barber! Most of the time you just see the outline of the head.
 
Always cool to find a barber! Especially when it's your first piece of silver, are you in Michigan?
