6 hour hunt at a new spot

[pigeonman]

went out yesterday in the cold,mid thirties to check out a new spot i was told it was used during the civil war period here by troops training.was too excited to worry about the cold.i found the 1941 silver quarter first then the 1842 large cent and the rest thru out the day.the dime is unreadable and the colonial coins came out not too bad but the one that baffles me is the 1911 barber quarter.it almost looks counterfeit because of the condition.is that a bullet at the top. the wedding band was dark but i can see some gold coming thru.no military stuff but a nice range of coins.

It looks like you found some short of sharps bullet carved into a chess piece

That's what I was going to say,,, looks as though someone had enough time to play some chess...

Awesome finds too pigeonman, Congrats!
Looks like that site will be a good one for sure...
That Barber quarter looks like it has been ate up by acid or something?.. I've never seen one look like that before...
Continued Good luck, & Happy hunting~

That bullet is a contemporary Thompson Center Maxiball. You can buy them at the local gunshops. Monty

I've dug several Barbers that are in that same condition. When they come out of the ground, the top and bottom of the coin flake off and they get that rough appearance. Mine were in watery muck, but maybe that happens even when they are in dirt.
