Scouting Hunt Pays Off with Bucket Lister

[BLK HOLE]

I haven’t found much worth mentioning lately and this little dime is pretty slicked but she is a first for me so I am pumped! I went to a park near a piece of property I rent out that used to have an old high school on it. The park is quite large and the city has a pool there also. I had 30 minutes before I had to start the drive back to DC so I decided to hunt around entrance to pool area to see what was there and how trashy it was. I started popping clad left and right and only had gone about 15 feet when I got and iffy 80-83 signal on my AT Pro, I popped the plug and about four inches down I see a very thin round thing, I pick it up and could just make out the head and a saw “one dime” on the back, my FIRST Barber!!! I know she not very pretty but she is mine! Under the magnifying glass you can read the date 1897! I can’t wait to get back to that park and find me a few more bucket listers! Good luck and HH.

Congratulations BH!! I was born in D.C. and lived in Maryland just about my whole life. Every time I drive through D.C. I think of all the good coins and relics that still await. Nice Job

Congrats!!!! It took me FOREVER to find my first Barber dime. I’d go hunting with a buddy of mine and he would pop 3 or 4 per hunt and all I would find is clad, then I finally found one and that monkey is off my back (; 1908-s, just sayin.
Great job

I know, the problem is it is very hard to detect in DC, so much is National Park land or City and detecting is forbidden. I can't imagine all that is under the National Mall!

Congrats on your first Barber coin. Slick or not, you are right it's yours, and at least there is enough detail to identify it.

Always a great feeling to find a bucket lister Like you, I went a long time before I found a Barber anything. One day I was detecting w/ my DFX near a former cabin site and got a faint signal next to a tree root. I passed the coil over the same spot in different directions and sometimes I hear it and other times not. I dug down 5" and found a 1902 Barber Dime on its edge. Best of luck on finding your next bucket lister!
