Back to North Carolina, and a Charles Barber quarter find

Woodland Detectors · Aug 30, 2011

Well we survived the trek back to NC. After a week of unpacking, I had a few hours to get out to a 200 acre farm site I gained permission to detect a year back. The yard was obviously never detected, and I managed a few keepers. One of which was a nicely detailed 1908 Charles Barber quarter dollar, a couple Winged Mercury dimes, a handful of wheat pennies, and what I first thought was a Eagle Hat pin (still not sure) A decent CW eagle button and a nice looking, highly gilted civilian button that lost it's shank and was fashioned with 4 holes to be sewn back again.
Thanks for looking

Hey M, Glad to hear ya'll made it back to NC. Super finds, and yes, I think the eagle is a hat pin too. The attachment was probably on the shield, and was not attached properly originally, which is why it was lost and found in such good condition. Congrats :thumbsup:

What a great mixture of finds! Looks like your finds are from a 150 year span, that's way cool and that's a really nice quarter. I'd be "chomping at the bit" to get back to that spot! HH

Mike,

2 e-mails from Minelab. Part is in the mail. Once I get it, my E-trac will be ready to go. Thanks for the help. As always, great customer relations even if I didn't buy from you but then I didn't know you back when!!!
