Barber Quarter, Merc Dime

treblehunter · Oct 23, 2014

Another great hunt with Vino, back to the site where I found my colonial silver and New Jersey Copper (we both have found much more there too) Today was another very exciting hunt with a couple of really great finds that George pulled out of the ground (I'll let him tell ya) There have been a few of our hunts together when it feels like someone throws a switch and the goodies start pouring out of the ground. I found a 1929 Merc, wheat, and a couple modern Canadian coins early on, then George pulled a nice find. We took a break and ate, warmed up and talked about what we had found so far, then decided weather to stay or hit another spot. We decided to stay, we went back and George, after a bit, pulls a really great find. It was exciting looking at it and watching as it reviled itself from the dirt encrusted on it. A little while later George said try where I just pulled (beep) and see what your CTX might find. I got over there and couple minutes later I was getting a great signal four ways, 13-46, it was jumping around a bit 15-46, 14-46 at 5 inches. I seen it in the hole and was thinking a large, then I could make out the gray of tarnished silver, we were both together at this point while I was slowly knocking dirt off it trying to see what it was. At first I was saying, "is it my seated?" then we both could see a bust at the same time and both said "is it capped!" when I finally seen the Barber bust. 1898 Barber Quarter. It was so exciting for a few seconds. I love my finds, all of them and it was really cool watching Vino find some great stuff. We even included Abe by phone! (poor guy we were torturing him!)
Thanks again George, very exciting!
