1st Barber this year

[tencents]

I haven't hunted for almost two months and was asked to find a lost wedding ring that was a ladies mother's and she had just lost it. Decided to hit a couple more spots on the way home and found this barber dime. By the way I found the wedding ring for the lady also.

Hey, That`s a real good barber and I know you are proud!! If I may ask, did you find the dime at an older park?? All the Barber Dimes (20) that I have found have been in parks in older towns. What brand and model detector do you use to coin hunt?? I use a Tesoro Cortes and the signal in discriminate is solid, but when I go to all metal to pinpoint the signal is very smooth and not loud at all. I have found 4 silver dimes this year, 3 mercurys and 1 barber.
I hope your next dime is a Seated dime from the late 1800. I have about 4 in 10 years of hunting. Found them in Old City Parks and Old Campgrounds. Good Luck!! Clay

I think when freeze-up hits here, I'm going to make a baby ring out of one of those. That plant arrangement would look awesome on the outside!

Dandy dime. Haven't found one of those in ages.

I found it in the yard of an old house. The town was founded in the 1850's several years ago I found an 1872 seated about three blocks from where I found this Barber. I use a Garrett 1500. When I have time I usually hunt old home sites in the area that are fields now as the town was hit hard in the sixties when detecting got popular here. I have platte maps from 1876 and look for home sites where they owned 160+ acres as those people were more likely to have money to lose. I also have the 1903 platte maps and try to hit sites where the houses were gone then. That way there is very little trash as they didn't even have electricity when they were torn down. I dig almost all signals as even the junk is interesting. Thanks for the encouraging words. bill
