My brother and I received permission to hunt a turn of the century house built between 1890-1900. The evening started digging many wheat & memorial cents, then about 2 hours into the hunt things started to get interesting.

The most interesting finds were a 1800 draped bust large cent found by my brother, a beautiful 1821 capped bust Quarter found by me. The other incredible find was my first old pocket spill which consisted of 1 1907 barber Quarter, 11 Indian head cents 1879-1908 and 7 wheat cents 1911-1914. Here is a short video my brother made of some of the finds at the hunt. the pocket spill didn't get caught on video (Battery died) but the barber is shown at the end. The machines used were the M6 Which my brother was using and the V3 I used.

Here's a couple scans of the coin. The coin looks better than the scans. I just couldn't get a good shot with the camera.


Here's the link to the video:

There were 216,851 of your quarter minted in 1821. That being said I would venture to say that your quarter would net you quite a nice price. I'm not gonna throw numbers around, but it would make a nice picture on the banner list. I vote banner..Looks sweet to me. :notworthy:

Man, do either of you have a pulse?????........watched the video and CANNOT believe how calm you both are .....ESPECIALLY with that 1821 quarter........my hunt would have been over right then and there and I'd be looking for the closest store that sells cold beer........

Wonderful finds, LOVE THAT QUARTER!!!

Congratulations! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

HH all!

Thank you all for looking and all the great replies. The bust quarter sure was a dig of a lifetime for me anyway. Thank you also for the banner votes... Lets see if it makes it.
