Dads first barber quarter, NOT so ugly

[WheatbackDigger]

Well, I went back to the old park, this time I took my dad with me. We worked the back end of the park in the overgrown stuff again. I got two Washingtons, a 1941 and 1943, along with a couple of wheats, 1947 and 1934. BUT, my dad pulled out his first Barber quarter 1906d at about 1 1/2 inches, in the middle of a trail. He just sorta looked up and thanked God and smiled. Not a bad day again. I'll hit it again tomorrow. There is acres of area that hasn't been accessible for the past thirty years. The park has built a small bridge and access road to get back there.

awesome finds Doug, I bet that barber sure made him happy

the silver washingtons are nice too

I think I have my mom talked into buying my dad a detector for his birthday in april, so hopefully I'll get to share some of the fun with my dad too

That Barber is awesome. Make sure you check that 43 some were errors. They had doubled-die strikes on the obverse

Great digs. I'm jealous it turned cold again here in the north and I haven't been able to get out The first day of spring was one of our coldest this year. I really got to move south. Keep em old ones coming. Hit the area again and again. there's ton more to be found.

NIce finds guys. It's really nice to have a hunting partner and to have your
dad as the partner is even better. I still think the Barber Quarter is one of the
best coins the US Goverment ever made and the back of the coin is the best part
of the coin.

One of my best finds at a park was after they took some bushes away from a lake.
I found a KKK badge and it is still one of the most talked about items in my show cases.

HH guys, Ringfinder

My other partner is my 12 year old daughter. Its alot of fun when all three of us get out together. Its the battle of the Whites. DFX vs XLT vs Prizm IV. Its kinda of funny, we all shoot out in different directions looking for bragging rights.
