Finally dug a silver coin

[Jdubbya74]

After 10 months of detecting and digging numerous 1965 quarters and dimes it finally happened. I'm not sure why I have dug so many 1965 coins, just luck I guess! While my son was bow hunting at my fathers ranch I was detecting around the 1920s house that we stay in. I had detected there when I first got my old detector and not found much. I figured that I would have better luck with the ATP. While I found my share of trash I couldn't believe my eyes when I pulled this 1894 quarter from the ground. I was shocked at first and couldn't believe my eyes. I then looked towards the sky while doing fist pumps and said thank you God, you are awesome! Anyway here is a pic of the coin and the second is what's left of the creature that thought it would ruin the rest of the weekend!

Great looking Barber

That is a great condition coin. And a great set of rattles! That is quite a 'first silver find'! Hard to top that.

Nice coin and thanks for reducing the rattler population in our neck of the woods. I take out 5-6 water moccasins from my pool each year and they all get the Machete treatment.

Hope you find many more and take care out there.

Thanks guys, I feel like I can retire from diggin because it Will be hard to top that coin find. I was back out there last weekend and past 3 inches deep it is rock and sandstone. Thinking about hooking up auger to tractor, but that might be overkill!
