1901 Barber Quarter Found Detecting an Old 1800's Homestead in PA

Yesterday me and my buddy got permission to detect this homestead that's late 1800's. So we started this site yesterday for about 3-4 hours and ended up being a good day! I found a 1901 Barber Quarter and my friend found a 1903 Indian Head Cent. We are planning to go back today and do some more digging. Here is the picture of the barber.

That's one great looking silver quarter. Finding a Barber quarter is one of my goals for this season. I'm very envious! HH
