A Barber, Bullets, and a Wheatie

[Merf]

It was 45 degrees today so I did a four hour hunt. I only found two coins but one was this 1901 Barber quarter.
I also found this 1940 wheatie and several old shell and bullet casings.
Good hunting to all.

Awesome, I am jealous. By the way, how did you get such a perfect round hole? I need whatever tool you are using.

WTG, Merf!! Got one of those bulb planters to use for digging? You can check the identification of the shotgun brass at this site. http://members.shaw.ca/cartridge-corner/shotgun.htm

Nice finds Merf!!! Also, thanks for the website RR, I found a couple Winchester 12 gauge headstamps a couple days ago. It was neat to have a place to look up the info about them.

WTG Merf....excellent find. I am curious about your tool also. That plug is perfectly round. How deep of a plug can you get? Please let us know. I need one of them!! Again....Kudos on the coin.

Thanks to all, I have had a couple of lucky days. Here is a picture of my plugging tool.
It was made for me by a sheet metal worker. It will take out a 6 inch plug, 3 inches in diameter.
The plug with the Barber is about a 4 inch plug. Good hunting

 

[Merf]

It looks better cleaned up. I have some padding taped on the handles.

Good job ,Merf , nice coin...Good aim Too!

Great find! Check the mint mark on that quater!
G-4 condition for a 1901 Barber Quater could be worth around $9, 1901-O around $45, and if the metal detector Gods were with you, and that happens to be a 1901-S it could worth around $6000! NO KIDDING!

 

[Merf]

Thanks for the info Rush. It has no mintmark. I am still looking forward to finding a valuable coin.
I will sell it and buy a couple of high end detectors. Good hunting.

Great find Merf, I have one of those hole pluggers around here some place. I used to use it, but when I took the
plug out and the coin was still in the hole, I had to use a flashlight to see the coin. Great too, but kinda heavy to carry.
