Met the barber last night!

[ArmyJoe]

I have stumbled across a site that has given up several V nickels, barber dimes, Indian head pennies, and even a seated dime. What's odd is that the site has yet to give up a silver Rosie, or Washington quarter. It's loaded with clad and is open to the public.

I decided to hit the place last night and work a few areas very slow. I'm glad I did as patience paid off with my first shield nickel (1877) followed by a Mercury dime. Things slowed way down as I hit pull tab city for about an hour. I got a great quarter signal about 4 inches down but it gave me a scratchy tone when I changed Angles only to settle back down. I decided to dig it and met my first Barber Quarter a 1903 O in nice shape! Can't wait to get back to the site and slow roll the entire area! So happy with the finds I've pulled so far!

Good going on the silvers....slow and overlap and you'd be surprised what's still hiding there.

Nice Barber quarter and congrats on knocking one off the bucket list with the shield nickel. I've found a number of them and they're all really toasted.
