Went out for a nice curb strip hunt this morning and found my first silver dime ever: an 1892 Barber (that's right, I haven't even found a Mercury or a Roosevelt yet).

For those curious, it rang up as an 77-80 on the ATP and was 4 inches down.

Thanks, everyone! I've had a silver drought since last fall and this was the perfect way to end it!
Now I have to muster up the courage to start asking homeowners for permission.

It was a surprisingly low reading for silver. It sounded just solid enough to maybe be a wheat cent. It may have been 79-80, I don't really remember (I had just re-ground balanced). But I'll dig anything with a good signal in 1800's curb strips!
