The school buildings made way for tract houses in the 80's but I've identified where the athletic field was and it's still accessible. I pulled this nice quarter near where the baseball field was. My oldest quarter yet and first Barber!
Nice find, congrats. I have only found one Barber quarter, and let me tell you, it was quite a thrill. Yours is a lot nicer than mine too. Well played.

Great looking Barber ! My first (and only) Barber quarter is also my oldest coin find, an 1898 in the same hole I found my first ever silver quarter, a 1939 Washington. A day of firsts...first silver quarter, first Barber, first silver quarter spill...But congrats on your awesome find, now get back there and find the rest!...ddf
There's nothing left to indicate there was ever a playing field there but old satellite photos show where the baseball field was. The coin was on the 3rd base line probably where spectators would have stood.
