    A good find at an old church in a small town in New Mexico

    Hey everyone, I am new to the forum but have been detecting for a few years now. I found this 1900 barber dime at an old church a couple months back. It came up pretty darn clean for being in the ground that long. Hope it is forum worthy haha! Smeigs

    Absolutely it is forum worthy!

    A silver dime that is 104 years old is a great find. That's why we love finding silver, because it comes out of the ground looking so nice.

    I hope you find many more of them this year!

    Excellent and forum worthy! My very first silver was a barber dime and amazingly my last silver ( just before the ice age started in Ct.) was also a 1900 barber dime!
