Grandmas's House Yields A nice Barber Quarter For Me... A First

Went to my Grandmother's (95) house today to help my Uncle fix her riding lawn mower. Afterwards, I decided to hunt the back yard which is 2.5 Acres. My Great Grandfather farmed it in the early 1900's. He lived next door to my Grandmother's house. My first hit and dig to my surprise was a first for me. A 1900 seated quarter. Finally chalked up another first for me. That's 2 sweet old quarters this week. I also found an old salt/ pepper shaker top. No idea how old it is. I have hunted my grandmother's home a few times but not too much. Found some wheat's and that's it. The back yard is groomed real well. So when I get back from my next run out west I know where I'm going. This should be a good place to hunt for a while. I didn't have a camera today so I can't show you her house. Built in the early 1900's. Thanks for looking Ron

Thank you, I've forgotten what a Barber actually looks like. It's been way to long for me finding even a Barber dime, let alone a nice looking quarter such as yours. Ya dun good.

Nice find..congrats.

I just found a 1902 on Friday. It is only my 2nd Barber Quarter in the few years I've been detecting. I don't find them that often.
