Hello everyone,
Was inside all day on the computer looking for work. After diner I decided to go back to the pounded old farm site which dates from the early 1900's. I was feeling good and in the mood to take it nice and easy. Within the first few digs out pops a 44 Wheatie. Then I found a belt buckle that I know isn't real old. Brass with a rusty hole keeper. It was getting late and decided to hit an area that I haven't pounded real hard. I dug all signals in the coin mode with sensitivity 1 bar from max. I have learned that even if you get one blimp one way just keep working in a circle until you get a good reading (if you can even get one). Well it worked for my next find. At 5 inches I spied a glimpse or silver. Merc I bet, I thought to myself. To my surprise out pops a 1914 barber. I didn't rub it like I normally do until I got home and ran some water on it. It was a nice 1914 which has very good detail. It was lost early on. I was happy. I have to admit that the detail is nearly mint. Even the Liberty is clearly visable. This is 2 Barber dimes in 2 days. Finally I got another signal which ended up being a shot shell bottom. The pictures were taken in early spring, not today .Thanks for looking, Ron
If you look at the trees in the front yard and to the far left it's the one in front at the far left. This is where I found the Barber.

Congrats and way to be persistent!
Good luck! By the way I'm sure there were plenty of seated coins in circulation at the time that that barber was dropped.
Looks like a great place to hunt and thanks for the tip on the Ace. 
I'm glad you found that Barber dime 'cause I just can't resist that urge to rub off the dirt to check for the date and mintmark. But now that I look at that coin and think about all my little scratches on my coins, well maybe I've learned a lesson.
