Got out to the river this morning at 545 a.m. with the headlamp. 1st find was a spoon, then some trinkets and the cool milk bottle sticking out of the bank. Then got a slammer 8-45 signal and out pops the black disk. 1906 barber quarter, my ugliest silver yet! 20180324_071538.jpg 20180324_132155.jpg 20180324_132128.jpg 20180324_133252.jpg 20180324_132027.jpg 20180324_132006.jpg

Sometimes you just love ugly :)

In the picture of finds in your hand, what is that larger "token" disk to the left of the quarter?

An somewhat worn Barber quarter in hand is far better than no Barber coin at all..I really like old milk bottles also.

Looks like it may have sustained fire damage. Nice snag - even the ugly ones need love.

thank you deep Seeker, I'm not sure what that thing is I think it was some sort of pendant and the print is hard to read

i would give it a good home.
brad

thank you Brendon, that milk bottle was a neat surprise

Congratualtions on the relics and coins! :occasion14:
thank you!

thank you Thrifty I agree

That thing is gnarly but it's yours! Did you also find a silver rosie? Nice going!
thanks a lot Washingtonian! That's just the modern Rosie

Sigh....its been a tough life. ;)
thanks Gary! I guess sitting in river water for the past 100 years or more will do that, especially if the river has been polluted from sulfur from the mine at least half that time LOL

Looks like it may have sustained fire damage. Nice snag - even the ugly ones need love.

thank you Steve I would take an ugly Barber over no Barber any day
