First signal was a solid dime signal. Out popped a silver coin - a 1900 Barber dime! Things were slow for a while and managed an 1891 IHC, a small flat button, and a "Chelmsford" lead seal. Towards the end of the hunt a loud foil-ish signal came up. But rather than a piece of shredded soda can, a small silver disc came out. WHAT? Could rule out a half dime, and probably Canadian too. The only thing it could be is a... 3 cent silver? YES! I did find one in the early 90s, but it was stolen. This is a wonderful treat to replace that one that one. Never thought another one would come up. 1852!

looks like a good day! sweet 3 center!, i have 2 but mine were bought lol
 

Nice 3 cent. I'll just have to live vicariously through your find! Congrats
 

I should buy a holder for the one I'm going to find, haaaaa I hope? Nice finds
 

That's a very nice day out ! To get a Barber dime by itself would be a day maker , but you throw the three cent silver on too and that
is a very good day .
 

Awesome! Still on my wish list!
 

Congrats. Those little 3 centers are super thin, aren't they?
 

Very nice haul. COngrats on the silver!
 

Nice finds! I can't find a 3 cent either but I feel a little better reading these posts. At least I'm not the only one that can't seem to come up with one!
 

WOW! Great hunt. I would assume that the silver "trime" is on most of our bucket lists. Congrats on an amazing hunt- hope you find more in that spot.
