A Barber quarter and a few other things

[joad]

Haven't posted on this board for awhile (been mostly CRHing) as I haven't had much spare time for swingin. Tried my luck this evening below my house in a wooded area that used to be a farm field. Was hoping for some civil war relics as this area is right on the old national pike in western MD. Well anyhow, found a few pieces of lead...help with ID would be appreciated. Near the end of my hour hunt mt MXT hits a strong 85 signal, so I dig a large hole and out pops a quarter sized silver coin at about 8 inches. I was not sure what it was until I cleaned it up a bit at the house. My first Barber quarter! 1906 no mint mark. Its in great shape to boot. It does have what appears to be a rust mark that won't wash off. The reverse is also tarnished rather badly but does have fine detail. Any suggestions? I'm ready to hit this place hard now!

Hey Joad,......Great looking Barber. I have skipped the barbers (not by choice) and have a couple seated dimes, but no quarters seated or Barber.
Excellent find!!!
