No silver coin streak ends with 10 cent barber

[7up2000]

Finally after a 9 month cold streak of no silver coins...the streak ended yesterday at a local park by finding this barber dime about 3 1/2" deep. My first barber--190X. I thought for sure when I finally did find a silver coin it would be a rosie, or even entertained the idea of possibly finding a merc. NEVER dreamed it would be a barber. I hunted seemingly everywhere to try and find a silver coin--wracking my brain and all; if I was going to give up the hobby I was damn well going to find one more silver coin if it took me forever. 3 months ago I had one foot out the door with giving up this hobby....BECAUSE this hobby sure can be a harsh mistress. 7up

Great advice, Jackalope. Thanks.

Post up pics again if you clean it up. I go get those plastic lemon juice containers(look like a lemon) at the super market and let it soak. Also baking soda can help a lot
