1901 Barber Quarter Found Detecting an Old 1800's Homestead in PA

Yesterday me and my buddy got permission to detect this homestead that's late 1800's. So we started this site yesterday for about 3-4 hours and ended up being a good day! I found a 1901 Barber Quarter and my friend found a 1903 Indian Head Cent. We are planning to go back today and do some more digging. Here is the picture of the barber.

Nice recovery! Don't you love the gleam of silver in the hole :)

Oh yeah. I couldn't believe it. I posted a full video of our dig. I was overwhelmed seeing that in the hole. Hahaha
 

Nice quarter!!! Gotta love them Barbers. Keep hunting...more will turn up. Just takes time. Good Luck
 

That's a beautiful quarter! Well done!!! I plan to go back to my grandparents old home site on Bose Mountain in Lycoming County PA soon and poke around.
 

That's one great looking silver quarter. Finding a Barber quarter is one of my goals for this season. I'm very envious! HH
 

cool find! a barber quarter 1902 is really what got me addicted to metal detecting found one with an ace 250 and the rest is history!
 

Nice score, Barber quarters are hard to find!
 

The look of a silver rim in the hole never gets old! Congratualtions!
 

Thanks! Yeah can't wait to find some more.
 

Thanks everyone. Was a very nice surprise for sure. Thought it was a seated at first. Either is fine. Hahaha
 

Scruggs. Your very close to where we are. We're in the Monroe County area.
 

That bad boy (or girl) is in decent shape!
 

Sweet Barber quarter, Congrats!
 

Nice find and excellent pictures!
 

Great find! Next time, grab one with an "S" mint mark... Congrats & GL!
