I was able to get out for a group hunt with Captain Silver and Dirt Lizard (From the Friendly Forum). The Captain nabbed a couple of Mercs and a stunning Walking Liberty half!! I almost fell over when that one popped out! :omg:

I managed to get a beat up silver piece of jewelry (earring?), a 1945 wheatie, and with some help from the Captain, a gorgeous 1916 Barber dime! I was ecstatic to say the least. If I could have done a cart wheel, I would have! happydance02

So, that brings me to six silver coins for the year, and I didn't get my first one until November. Thanks for looking and I hope everyone has a great 2012!! Happy Hunting!!! |:cheering:

That's a gorgeous Barber Dime for sure! |:confused:)

My first was also a 1916 but it was in sad shape.

How cool that your first was a beauty like that one! :happydance01:
