Hi guys.
Yesterday I went out late afternoon. Had been raining off and on all day. Went back to the same area I've been videoing my hunts. I pulled a 1919 Merc on film. 1920 wheat I did not film. Also a 1900 Barber dime that rang in like a wheat. 12-41 at 3 inches and would not sway (the signal that is). I scratched liberty right down the middle of her face :veryangry:. I did not film that one as I thought it was a wheat and the wind was terrible. The barber dime was very, very worn. I could just make out the "ONE DIME" on the back. Of course the front was a little better. The date was very readible. Anyway. I could see the rain bank and started marking signals. Hit another little hotspot and marked 3 signals.
Went back after church, still windy but not as bad. I'd been wanting to get an IH signal on film and I had two. So we first went to my dime signal. Dug it and it was a wheatie. It rang 12-44/45 most of the time. I never dreamed it was a wheat. Anyway it was a 1913 wheat. Filmed the next IH signal and that is when I got the 1908. I didn't notice the S mintmark until I got back into the car. Didn't realize it was a semi-key coin until I got home. Last signal turned out to be an 1891 Indian Head.
I got all these on film. The FULL digs. Don't know yet when I'll get them up loaded. Probably be a couple of weeks from now. But I will share the pics.
Take care.

By the way. I did not clean it at all. Except for rubbing the sand off with my glove after recover. What you see is the way I'll leave it for now!!

looks to be about a $75 coin!
