Broke into the 1800's for the first time this year ! SILVER !

I hope this never ends ! As you all know I find mainly rings and clad at schools . This weekend has been a dream weekend for me ! Today it happened again . I hunted a school around the same location as yesterday's school hunt . I have hunted this school many times and in the past it has given up a few silver coins . The oldest until today was a 1929 Standing Liberty quarter . At 8 inches I had a VDI of +79 but it was really jumpy . It would go as low as +2 and even hit a negative sometimes . I dug it only because of the silver I had found in the past at this school . It turns out to be a 1897O Barber quarter ! It's very worn but I'll take ! I added the picture of the old piece of chain link that made the VDI so jumpy .
Clad was $6.59 for two hours .
I can't wait to get back out again !

Nice Hunt, silver is Good.
I have been to the 1800's yet this year with silver.
Happy Hunting
 

Nice job, Very sweet finding silver let alone 1800s silver. I have only found one injun so far this year that put me in the 1800's. Pretty cool looking peice from across the border as well!
 

congrats on a nice barber!

Welcome to the 1800's club! I've been lucky enough to dig 3 coins from the 1800's and one from the 1700's so far this year. I'm hoping it only gets better! Congrats on the nice coin.
