It took 11 years for the first one, guess what.

I found a second one, one week later, go figure on that . It was raining cats and dogs yesterday
when i woke up at 5:30, i called my buddie Weaver to try and wiggle out of going hunting and
he wouldn't have any part of it. He said lets ride out to the spot and see what happens, i always
get lucky when i really don't want to go and he talks me into it. After i hung up with him our
other buddie Armstrong calls me up wanting to wiggle out, i told him that idiot Weaver still wants
to go so lets go. We stopped at a mickey D's close to the spot and it was still pouring down,
so we had breakfast. We head to the spot and as soon as we pull up it stops raining. We walk
across a field sinking in mud almost up to our ankles to get to the old log cabin site. We start
hunting and on my 2ND or 3rd hole my 2ND Barber dime in 11 years pops up, this was the only
coin found all day. Along with my dime i found a neat old bottle, 2 buttons and a i don't know
what. Weaver found an old counterfit wedding ring stamped 18 K, where the stamp is at it's real gold,
the rest of it looks like copper, he also found a couple of old Wheatbacks and 2 bullets.
Armstrong found a Navy cuff button. It's rare for me to beat either one of these guys.
They have got spanked 2 weeks in a row.

Thanks Whyme, it's a Coolpix 5700, I hate it.
It has the shutter delay and you have to get into that dang menu to change your settings.
I can barely see the thing and if your in the sun forget it.
They need to come out with one like the old SLR's with all your settings on the outside
where you can easily change them.

Sorry I don't know about the Coolpix Nikon cameras but I do know the digital Nikon SLR's are great. Thought maybe I could help but know nothing of the Coolpix. Awesome Barber though!
 

Love that Barber Dime Deno, great condition too! :o
This is my favourite piece! :notworthy:
How old do you think it is? :icon_scratch:

Dave,
I don't know for sure but i would guess around 115 years or so.
I just noticed it looks like a 2 in the middle of it.
The spot we are hunting looks a lot older.
 

Love your Barber it is in excellent condition... :icon_thumright:
 

Awesome Barber dime! Looks like you owe Weaver a breakfast next time! Great story.
 

11 years!!??Man,I guess I shouldnt take em for granted,I get discouraged when one pops out :dontknow:
