I left work early yesterday and started hunting on the back of the property line again at my parents house, where the tavern used to be. It was a slow start...I found a wheat penny, then another wheat. I then dug an 1867 Shield Nickle (w/o rays). I thought it was another penny with the color it had turned. I also found an old toy cannon (german 88?) that I probably lost as a kid and some pieces of pottery. I searched around the same places that I had heard weaker sounds before (but not dug)...I ended up digging another Large Cent...1848...this is now the oldest coin I have dug so far and the 2nd large cent (1852) at this site. I also dug an indian head that is badly corroded and does not have a date. It was dark now and I was searching by car head lights and a lantern again. I dug 3 more wheats and thes best was the last dig of the night. I told myself I would dig one more hole (it was 9:30pm by this time) and out popped a 1911 D Barber Quarter.

I looked up the 1911 D Barber on the PCGS website http://www.pcgs.com/prices/ and the "D" version is worth the most. In good condition $6, Fine$79 and EF $295. Any thought as to what this Barber may be graded at.

Total haul for yesterday/night:

5 Wheats (192?), (1919), (1928), (1912), (1902(?))
1 Indian Head, no date
1 Shield Nickle (1867)
1 Large Cent (1848)
1 1911 D Barber Quarter

Thanks for looking.

Daniel
