Went to a local park yesterday morning for about an hour before work. Went to a small section thats by itself next to a fire station. Only got one decent hit. Ended up being a 1909 Barber dime. It was the only coin I ran my coil over for the hour I was there.

Went back this morning and within five feet of the 1909 I found a 1897 Barber dime. Same situation. It was the only good hit I got and didnt even find any clad. Whats the odds?

Anyway I want to thank the old timers in Indianapolis for leaving me some scraps.

Congrats on the pair of Barber dimes. My first Barber dime was a 1909. Remember it well. Always nice to find an overlooked spot. Not many left. I think I would give that another going over. Good luck. Mark
 
It's hard to find silver in public parks these days, you often have to go to the "out of the way" spots where detectorists haven't swung there coils. It looks like you found yourself a nice little spot there. Congrats!
 
Thanks.

I know its gonna be hard to believe. I have a hard time myself. But went back this morning and found .12 cents.

Unbelievable.
