Haven't hunted much this year. Found another detector hunting one of my favorite spots, so decided to hunt another area of the spot. Found a green dump truck and some can slaw before finds 2 LMC. Several jumpy signals on my AT Pro but decided to dig a jumpy 81 should be a dime, yes? About 4 inches deep I find a small dime size coin on edge, looks to be my first silver dime. And what a dime it is? A 1906 D Barber dime. Living the dream, Webekin  |

Fantastic first. If you are still digging I'm guessing you don't live near me in Minnesota  |

Returned to the location of the find, and hunted both sides of the fence. Found a quarter and dime both clad on the other side 50 yards east. Hunted the rodeo stands close to the concessions and for the day had 3 quarters 4 dimes and 8 LMC. Next time, maybe tomorrow afternoon, I'll hunt across the drive closer to the railroad fence. Back in the '20-30's there was a refinery just north of the property that had the Barber dime, so maybe workers were walking a path to the refinery. Or there may have been other businesses close to the rail road tracks. Living the dream, Webekin |
