Wow popped this baby outa the front yard of a 1880's brick home. Dug what seemed like hundreds of wheats, in one hour, I finally quit them and started to cherry pick. Got a quarter signal and lazily dug this one. Spent an hour here till I got a little uncomfortable about digging in someone's front yard.
Quarter was I'd say, about 2 or 3 inches deep.
Might be worth a trip back.

Oops, forgot to add the reverse. The Ben is from roll hunting at lunch. AMC

It's awesome seeing quarter-sized silver in a hole, ain't it? ;D
Especially when it's old!
Congrats on the first!

Yeah, saw the white rim first and figured it to be a silver Washington. Nice surprise. AMC

Way to go on your first Barbie Quarter!! :thumbsup:

I'd definitely go back there if you were digging a bunch of wheats. Just take extra care when you make plugs..take your time.

Congrats,

My first was an 1916-D, in AU condition. Except for the 1/2" gash that I put on it with my digging tool. I still look at it fondly, and well, cry. You dug a beauty there, congrates.
