Well got my 1st barber quarter in a few years today.Only the 3rd i ever got.And the oldest as it is 1st year they made them.All i had to do is bend over and pick it up.Mind you i generaly need to dig 6 or 7 inches between rocks at this place but it was just laying their.Must have washed in from up stream.Also got a destroyed indian,beat wheat.And a badly rotted copper disk the size of a quarter.My coolest find was a 1936 delegate "western states safety conference"salt lake city

So what streambed did you find these in on top of the ground?

Mind posting a photo of the copper too?
 
Nice finds. The shield medal is pretty neat! Congrat's!
 
Nice Finds!
I've found a few oldies on the surface, the top side usually shows more degradation than the bottom.
I see yours has different patinas.
Would like to see the copper too.,. HH :thumbsup:
