My Second Oldest Coin to Date

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

Hey Ya'll.

Havent posted in awhile..But thought I would post this, since its my Second oldest coin found so far. Went out with a buddie of mine today to an old piece of property that had a old home on it at one time.. Pretty cool place, had the old rock chinmey still there...Well.. didnt find many coins there, he found a wheatie, and found alot of old iron pieces but we ended up leaving and heading out searching for a place in this town. Ended up at this park that seemed old but wasnt sure. We were there about 15 minutes when i got a shallow quarter signal..Wasnt expecting much at all since it was only about 2 inches deep....Popped out the plug..and saw that Beautiful Rim I ran over to my buddie with the plug and said "You think thats Silver?"..When I pulled it out I was happy because I knew it wasnt a Washington..I Rinsed it off and saw the "1898" .. Freakin AWESOME!!..This is my second oldest Coin Ive ever found..Ironically my top "3" oldest coins found are all Barber Quarters

But Im on Cloud 9..This was number 6 for the year and I'm ready for some more!!!

Oh and also..I never rubbed this coin at all..When I rinse it, it had scraches on the front...I guess this things are sensitive just picking them up

Who cuts your hair? (cheese-like reference) You'd be suprised how much a 100+ y.o. coin moves around in the earth. I've dug lots of scratched silver. Congrats!
