Silver 3¢ Piece and Barber dime!

[testing123]

First signal was a solid dime signal. Out popped a silver coin - a 1900 Barber dime! Things were slow for a while and managed an 1891 IHC, a small flat button, and a "Chelmsford" lead seal. Towards the end of the hunt a loud foil-ish signal came up. But rather than a piece of shredded soda can, a small silver disc came out. WHAT? Could rule out a half dime, and probably Canadian too. The only thing it could be is a... 3 cent silver? YES! I did find one in the early 90s, but it was stolen. This is a wonderful treat to replace that one that one. Never thought another one would come up. 1852!

Congrats on the 3 cent silver. In the last week I found a seated half dime, half reale, 2 reale, 1804 large cent, Barber dime, Indians and more, but in 35 years of metal detecting I've never found a 3 cent piece. Way to go!

Thanks guys! It's surprising how scarce these coins are to find metal detecting. Just happy to have a replacement for the one stolen 20 years ago.

I made a sight find on one in OKC about 25 years ago and my second ex took it. It would be great if I could replace mine too, lol. The coin, not the ex......
