    This one made my day!

    Hi All,

    Got out will 'ol Dirt Lizard (From Friendly Forum) the other day and had a nice hunt. It's only been the second hunt for me this year.

    My best find was this 1902 Barber dime. I thought it was a regular dime cause it was so dark. Imagine my surprise when I saw the One Dime!

    It's sure nice when you find a silver early into a hunt, then it's smooth sailing the rest of the day!

    Have fun out there and thanks for looking!
