Decided to go over to my neighbors yard that I've hit several times, because I couldn't get away for no more than a short hunt. I have found a silver dime and a beautiful SLQ in the past along with several wheats. Tonight I hunted for about 45 minutes and came away with nothing but coins!!! I used the advice to not dig the signals that gave the signs of trash. I dug 3 wheat pennies, several memorials and my very first Barber Dime!!!! 1893 S at 6 deep. It was about 6 inches away from a memorial penny I dug first. I rescanned and it gave me a really nice strong signal. Here's the pics... Woooohooo! the drought is over!

Boy did I need this! I was really beginning to doubt my detecting abilities and was really really starting to lose confidence. It's been since early last fall since I've hit silver.... I was on quite a drought with the DFX at the end of the year too... I've always wanted to find a barber dime and to get a semi-key date to boot is just icing on the cake!

SWEEEEEET!!!! All I got to say is lookout. Beef is on the loose with his ET. Very nice coin. Congratulations on getting out of the drought and getting your first Barber Dime. Now relax and have fun. The Silver is sure to roll in. You have already guessed where to hunt. Look back at places that have produced for you in the past and go back with the ET. Fantastic find Brian!

Jack

P.S. I think you should give that Dime to your Neighbor. rofl

Thanks folks...I just realized that this 1893 is my oldest silver too! 1899 was my previous record.
