The KEY to success

["Dr.Tones"]

Finally made it out for a much needed hunt. Managed to score another Barber key date. A 1903 S dime! Sweetness! Heck of a year!

Again another nice find Dr. Tones, love those barbers ! I was looking forward to reading your story on "The KEY to success" and have to admit I was a little disappointed to find it was a PUN LOL! Knowing how successful you have been, it would be a real nice read if you posted something like that. Hmm food for thought perhaps? You and your crew are well known and respected in the community, I for one would live to see something like that. Ok, I digress, awesome find on that coin!

This has been a slow year for me, only 4 silver coins, but 1 was my 1st SLQ (no date of course!#$) I haven't got out as much as usual so right there is my key to success, get my fanny out and dig!

Oh, and I agree with Mr. Mudpuppy 100%! That was an excellent video of the entire process, you never know when a mere mortal such as I just might luck onto a good find! ;-)

That is a very pretty coin for its age and burial history. Have you done anything to it beyond water?
Congrats!

Great coin Brandon!

Thanks for the kind words guys! I haven't done anything other than soaking it in distilled water. Hopefully when I get home from work the rest of the crud will be gone. Speaking of keys to success, I'm actually writing a book about some of the things I've learned along the way. It will cover everything from detecting basics to advanced skills, but most of all, it will cover how to find old spots, identify approx. age of structures, landscapes, where to look once you get there, permissions, cleaning (if you must) and much more. My publisher is pushing me to the max to have it done by Aug. so it can be available by Christmas.

Wow another key date. Who would have thought that coming from Tones. Love to see your coin collection but it probably is not good to get dirt on them. Good luck out there.
