Barber Quarter and Seated Dime in the Same Hole!

[grasshopper]

Got out yesterday to an old farmhouse I've detected a number of times. Was slowly checking along a wood fence line in front of the house and got a mixed high tone. There are nails and metal plates holding the fence together, so I clearly mistook this target in the past for something in the fence.

I immediately pulled a nail out of the hole. Scanned again, and got a sweet high tone. Didn't even have to do any more digging before i saw a silver rim. Pulled out the 1892-O barber quarter (my first in almost 20 years....somehow), checked the hole again, and there was still another signal! Did some more digging and to my surprise there was also an 1849 seated dime in there!

Not much else to report after that, 1897 V Nickel, 2 thimbles, and a few other odds and ends.

Love the eagle design on the reverse of the Barber!!

Great finds. It's interesting that those two coins were found together given that their mint dates were almost 50 years apart. PS- I agree...the reverse on those Barber quarters is a beautiful design. Congrats!

Beautiful silver! Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Many times over the years I have found multiple target in the same hole! That is always a big thrill especially when it includes silver.

Not that uncommon to find a 50 year difference in circulated coins even in modern times let alone back when coinage was much more in common usage and needed/useful.
I find 60's penny's, dimes and quarters fairly often and nickels even older. Had they showed similar wear I wouldn't have made this post.
