I got my minelab safari / may 2016 / been searching local school and local parks to get the feel of how to use it / found a lot of modern coins but no silver / came across a run down over grown park in another town / had about 1hr before dark - it had a lot of trash / bottle caps , pull tabs , foil- almost gave up- moved away from shelter to some older trees / imeatately found these 3 coins / can't Waite to go back IMG_1042.webp

Great hunt & Great Barber Dime! Welcome to TNet! :hello:
 
Congratulations and welcome to Tnet! Those coins are definitely keepers!
 
That's real nice for your first silver! Just shows ya, never give up. Digging all those tabs and foil will pay off someday. Might be gold next time!

Congrats on your first silver, good first silver coin to boot! You'll always remember you're first, I remember my lowly first, it was a mercury dime at a demo site our club turned us on to.

Welcome to t-net and Congrats on your first silver!! A return trip to that park sounds like there's more silver in your near future.
 
Welcome to the forum and congrats on your barber
 
Congrats on your first Barber & silver!! Good spot..old forgotten parks are great.
 
Congratulations on the first silver find! :occasion14:
 
Very nice Barber Dime.
Put that bad boy in a coin folder, put the date and location of find, and mark in red ink, "FIRST"
Congrats

My first was a Barber dime also - Do what ^ said - will always make you smile!
 
Nice barber congrats, and theres many more to come, keep it up. Its just like fishing if u got something every time it would be called catching....
 
Congrats on your first silver and a Barber dime to boot. I have some bad news. You will now start to become addicted to this hobby. If you have a family, they won't see you as much. Same goes for any fishing or hunting buddies unless they are also swinging a detector. The news gets worse, the more you find the more you want to find. The older the coins you find, the older the coins you want to find. The good news. When you're out swinging a detector time ceases to exist. You could be detecting for hours and it seems like minutes. It gets to be like "one more cast". There's never just one more. Happy Hunting and big congrats on your first silver.

Swinging a coil for more than 35 years.
 
Heyyy, that's a coin over 100 years old!! You must be stoked skipping right by a 1/2 century of other silver coins. Congrats.
 
What a nice coin for first silver ... hopefully the 1st of many more to come!
 
Congrats on your first... and a Barber at that.

Well done sir!
 
Congrats on your first silver. My first silver was also a Barber dime (1900-O) way back in 1987 !
 
The first one is always the hardest.
 
Dudes first silver is a 1914 barber dime! What!?!?! Nice man. You are doing great! You'll find plenty more I'm sure ;)
 
Congrats on finding your 1st barber and 1st silver. I do recommend you get a small coil for your detector if you don't already have one. They get better target separation due to their size and make hunting trashy sites easier. GL & HH
