The last time I found a Barber quarter was June of 2018, I was beginning to think that I'd never find one again. Went out with the guys today to escape the house and just about 5 minutes in dug this beauty. Looks like it was dropped right from the bank.

Also found a small silver pin that looks to be a sword hilt (but no blade was found) and what I think is a pewter button with a Celtic design. Here's the back of quarter too, one sharp coin:

Man that's a beauty. I only found my second Barber dime a few days ago; have yet to pull out a quarter!

That is a beautiful coin. Maybe the sword hilt is a letter opener? Congrats!

That’s a nice one Steve, they’re getting harder to find. I only found one last year myself...

That's a real beauty you found, love the silver pin also. My congratulations to you.

Huh you think you had a long drought, I found my first and only Barber quarter in March 2013 and already had a few years detecting under my belt by than.
