Everyone has their personal " White Whale"...

[Silvermonkey]

For me it has been a Barber quarter. I have dug many Barber dimes, but never...never a Barber quarter. Today. I was able to check that particular coin off my wish list. I hit a low laying section of woods this morning after some pretty good rain the night before. First decent target ( 81 VDI on the AT Pro) turned out to be an 1820 large cent. Wow! What a way to start the day. About 50 feet away, I got an "iffy" signal that was jumping around in the 70's and 80's. After some serious root cutting, I popped out an IHP. Re-scanned the hole, and the signal remained. Did some additional root cutting, and down about 6-8 inches out came my " white whale", a 1895 Barber quarter. The next couple of hours produced a very crunchy IHP and Liberty nickel, along with a couple of wheaties, and assorted iron targets. All in all a really fantastic day of detecting!
