Had about 1 1/2 hrs. To hunt after work today. Decided to check out a wooded area near a river up here in Northern N.J. Glad I did! I have only found 2 Barber dimes and never any of the larger denomination.
Got a very good signal and about 6" depth uncovered a beautiful 1909 Barber quarter- always recheck your holes! On the second scan,got a deeper signal and a couple inches down ,there was the 1905 Barber! Very exciting and now I want a half dollar,but I'll take whatever I find! Love the old silver.

The 1905 was deeper because it was older LOL I I say two quarters beats a half, nice work. Congratulations those are in nice shape

The Barber Quarter is a great coin, and it looks like you have a couple of nice ones. Congrats on your first and second.

Very nice find. I have only ever found one Barber quarter, so those two look really sweet me.

Best of luck to you sir.

Two Barber quarters is a great find. Probably better than a half because you have to work twice as much to get two coins! Well maybe.
