Craig and I hit the same ol' huntin' grounds today but the silver was real slow going at first. However, Craig was the one to find it first. It just happened to be that silver marksman pin he's already posted. I'm glad you found that pin I lost last weekend Craig
As the day progressed, Craig and I were on our way out of the woods to take a Gatorade break when I got a nice '82 reading at 5-1/2" deep next to an old oak tree. Dug the target and out pops this 1899-O Barber dime My first New Orleans mint.

It's been quite sometime since I last dug a pre-1900 era coin

Bubba came running over to see what all the hollering and celebration dancin' I was doing. After a thorough examination of my Barber dime, he had to make sure the dime was for real and I didn't stage the find Come to think of it, Bubba has been giving me an awful lot of luck everytime we together
Thanks Bubba!
