Well, sort of. Today the CTX hit on a barber dime that was only about 2 down next to a big tree. (barber = shave) :grin:
Also got 2 wheats a 1942-D and a mystery green wheat. Also a large heavy brass ring. The 1910 barber is only my third barber coin since I started. I got two dimes and one quarter. I have found more seated coins than barbers. :huh:

Congrats on the Barber Dime! |:cheering:

Next to big trees is one of my favorite places to detect, especially if there is bare dirt around the base of the tree. For some reason I have found many old coins that are only 1 to 3 deep next to the base of big trees. Even at a hunted out park I can often find Indian Heads, Barbers, etc. around the bases of old trees.

I wish I had found more seated coins than Barbers!

Nice find with the Barber. Being so shallow, I wonder if people thought it was just another clad lol I wish I had your Seated problem though ;)

You have found more barber coins just this year than all my barber and seated coins combined. Only three barbers and six seated in three years. crying01

Nice Barber, I also was in your situation....more seated than Barbers. :congrats: and I hope you can keep the number of seated more than that of the Barbers.
