My spring and early summer started out VERY slow. Just alot of clad and my normal 150 or so, wheatbacks, but little silver. But there was a few nice ones. Then I came in contact with a fella who told me about a old picnic groove in his family for at least 100 years! I was itching to get at that! Now things are looking better! My last 3 outings were at the groove and an old school which dates back to the 1800's. I managed to come up with 9 silvers. I found 2 Washington quarters, 3 nice Mercs, two Rosies, an old Canadian dime, and then on my last hunt on Wednesday this week, there sure wasn't many targets. It was a very quiet day until I found the best coin I found this year! A key Barber!A 1892S barber dime! My old friend who has been a coin collector for over 40 years said it should grade out somewhere between very fine and extra fine. The redbook has it at $240-$280!!!! Its a mighty fine coin, that just made my day! Things are looking better for this old coin hunter from Dubuque!
KEEP THE COIL TO THE SOIL!

It's hard to find "S" mintmarks out my way and even harder to find them in great shape. You did well on that one!!

Definitely don't clean it anymore. It is gorgeous. Back looks slightly better than the front. I'm not that good at grading but I would think a solid VF as my guess
