Went out today after the rain stopped. It was cold and wet and not real enjoyable but it has been raining for days and I needed to get out, even if it was only for a couple hours. I wasn't even finding much clad, and finally found a fairly shallow 1956 wheat penny. Finally got a deeper repeatable 26 tone, figured it was a dime of some sort. I found it in the plug about 5-6 inches down. I could see the rim in the caked on dirt and I knew it was silver. When peeled the dirt off ,I had my first Barber! It is barely a Barber, as 1916 was the last mint year.

Thank you I have to believe there arent too many in our parts
Congrats on digging your first Barber. I'm sure that it won't be your last. Trapper
Thanks I hope to find a quarter someday

Nice Barber. I didn't realize we minted Barbers and Mercs that year.
Me neither. When i saw the date, I looked it up. Sure enough, we made both types that year.
A barber is a barber whether 1892 or 1916, nice snag!
Thanks I agree. hopefully the first of many.
Congrats on a nice Barber!!!
Thank you!

Thanks! Until i started detecting, a Barber was someone who cut your hair.
Good find. Barely a Barber is still a Barber.
yes it is. Thanks

Thanks maybe someday I will find another.
Finding a Barber is extra special...congrats on finding real good old stuff!
Thanks. In my part of the world people have only been dropping coins for about 130 years , so even finding a wheat penny is good old stuff.
Very cool find; congrats! :woot:
Thanks !
