First Silver!!! 1912 Barber Dime :)

A week and a half ago, I purchased a Minelab Explorer SE explicitly for coinshooting. Today was my third hunt with the machine, but the first with the 7.5" Minelab coil. Hunted a local park for 4 hours. I was pulling can slaw, Memorial cents, and beaver tails all day. 3 1/2 hours into the hunt I was tired and cursing the Explorer - even considering selling the thing. :ranting:

I decided to move from the soft ground to what was essentially a sand and rock, multi-purpose sports field. The ground was hard and crumbled when I dug. I had the screen wide-open. Iron was everywhere. About 10 minutes into the new ground, I got a fairly good signal. Large iron was on two sides of the good signal. I decided to dig.

I'm glad I did because down 4 inches was a 1912 Barber dime! Two inches away was a rusty nail. I'm now a believer in the Explorer!

Unfortunately, I scratched the thing, but I really don't care. It's my first silver!!! Just glad to be on the board. :biggrin:
 
Congratulations on a very nice find. Sometimes it pays to just stick with it even when we are tired, irritated, hot, and not finding much. I think my second silver was a 1911 Barber. They are a beautiful coin.
 
Congrats on your first Silver and Barber now its all down hill to finding more silver once you find the first good luck have A great year HH
