    close shave

    Well, sort of. Today the CTX hit on a barber dime that was only about 2 down next to a big tree. (barber = shave)
    Also got 2 wheats a 1942-D and a mystery green wheat. Also a large heavy brass ring. The 1910 barber is only my third barber coin since I started. I got two dimes and one quarter. I have found more seated coins than barbers.

    Congrats on the Barber Dime! |

    Next to big trees is one of my favorite places to detect, especially if there is bare dirt around the base of the tree. For some reason I have found many old coins that are only 1 to 3 deep next to the base of big trees. Even at a hunted out park I can often find Indian Heads, Barbers, etc. around the bases of old trees.

    I wish I had found more seated coins than Barbers!

    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves

    You have found more barber coins just this year than all my barber and seated coins combined. Only three barbers and six seated in three years. crying01
