2nd Silver and an Injun

[drodda777]

I had a break in work today waiting for some glue to dry, so I decided to get out and try again. I was out searching in front of an old house. I stepped out of the car and got everything together and then I started searching. Within a few minutes and probably 10 feet from the car I got a good Quarter signal about 6" deep. I was expecting a clad quarter but to my pleasant suprise I found this 1905-O Barber Quarter. I walked a little further and I found the Injun. A 1899 and my very first Injun. I stayed there maybe an hour total as I had other things I needed to get back to so I would call it a pretty good way to spend an hour. I am starting to get a better grasp on my new E-Trac. I also found 70 cents in clad and two other wheaties. Again my first wheaties found. 1925 and a 1946 wheatie. Since I have a total of maybe 7 hours at this new hobby with my E-trac almost anything is a first or new find right now.

Nice! That is one very fine Barber quarter. The indian looks like it might clean up well too.

I say, way to go!

Wow, great finds! I have 6 months with my Etrac, and I have never found a barber. Some older, some newer, but no barbers. Very nice!

Thanks guys. I was pretty excited when I pulled the Barber out of the hole and saw it was something other than a washington. I think I have found all 50 state quarters all ready. I had to do a mini-happy dance as i had a few onlookers that I did not want to attract attention from. Believe me tough, when I got home and cleaned the dirt from it I did the complete Happy Dance.


How do you clean up an old IH cent any ways? I have soaked it in water to loosen the dirt. I have a few hweats that could use some cleaning also. Any ideas on what is the best way to clean these also?

Dave,

Congrats on a couple of great finds! That Barber is outstanding. And your first 1800s coin. And your first wheaties!! Wow. It won't get any better than this. Three firsts in one day!!

Not sure about cleaning pennies. Electrolysis is one option.

Keep up the good work!!

Nice finds! That barber is in awesome shape and would make anyone happy to see coming up outa the hole. I like to clean all my copper coins in a hot peroxide bath, I am sure there is some info on it in the forums.

Just curious as to how you were expecting clad when the depth was six inches and you were hunting in front

of an "old" house ? Nice coins Argentium.
