My first Barber 1900. It is rough looking. Has pitting. My Buff is a 1920. I saw the date briefly. Anybody have pitting problems with silver in red soil?

Our clad silver turns red for some reason. We do have areas with red soil from the red shale but I can't say that I have ever pulled silver from it. From the pic it just looks like from circulation. Not only do coins get worn from circulation. idk how many I have pulled up that look like someone chewed on them. Nice score on the barber tho.
Congrats on the first....here's to many more(that's root beer 'cause I'm rooting for ya
