Went on a hunt yesterday and found a 1898 Barber quarter. Went out again this evening to a complete different property and found another 1898 Barber quarter. What are the odds of that. Lol
Started the day off at our Bed and Breakfast playing around in the pond. All we found besides pull tabs and fishing lead were a couple old buttons.
This evening after a 1/2 hr downpour I hit the property where I found my first seated 2 months ago. Started off finding a few wheats in the back yard and a lead headless horseman.
Moved around to the front and first found a 1956 Rosie. A couple minutes later and only inches from the front walk I get a 12:47 hit on the CTX. It was so close to the walk way that when I flipped a plug it was laying on the walk way. No need for the pin pointer after flipping the plug, see silver laying in the hole, 1898 barber quarter.
Back to back days and find two 1898 Barber quarters, how Sweet is that...

Three White's, one Fisher and a Minelab.....I'm beginning to wonder if I am a metal detectorist .....or a collector of metal detectors?

That is very sweet, and I really like the headless horseman! The only back to back Barber days I've ever had consisted of a cheap haircut on Friday and and a more expensive one on Saturday morning to correct the rookies mistakes!

You're lucky to get that rain. Great find, 1800's barber quarters are endangered. They have been successfully hunted by detectors for 60 years and are easy targets.

Congrats on that silver!

I don't know what the odds are, but I'd take them. Nice double on the Quarters.

Nice going on the old silver, nothing better when it just falls out of the plug as if it's yelling "Here I am!".

Two consecutive days with barbers is way too many haircuts. But the coins are sure nice! Your decapitated WW1 US Doughboy Cavalry Officer is a cool find too. I bet there are more of his squad there. Sub 8-)

The coolest thing I thought about the two barbers was the fact they both were minted in 1898. Not to often you find barber quarters then to find two from the same year in two complete different areas, thought that was pretty weird...

Very cool that they're the same date! I haven't been able to go hunting for one month now due to work and this dig has inflamed my itch!
