I decided to take a day off work since it was going to be so nice out. I did a lot of research over the winter and went to one of my new spots for the first time today. The ground was very very mineralized where I was hunting. I found the 1942 D wheat first and knew that I found a spot with some potential. When I found the 1926 wheat I started to really pay attention to the DFX. Soon afterwards I got a VDI of 80 on the screen and got a little excited I wasn't finding ANY new change and only iron trash which was telling me this probably wasn't a clad dime. I dug down and pulled out a silver dime. I was expecting to see a Merc and my eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing, a 1912 D Barber dime! Sweet! I detected for another 45 minutes and found a 1944 S wheat. I think I'll be going back when I get some more time
