I found this so early in my hunt I tried something new. I didn't have any water on me and didn't want to scratch it up but I couldn't see the obverse at all. Judging by the reverse I knew I had a barber or a seated. What I did was put the coin back in the hole with the plug on top in order to keep the dirt moist on the coin til I got done with my hunt. I pushed twigs in a circle around it but in the woods I still took a gamble of losing it lol. Detecting on and imagining what the date and condition would be I came up on a stream that was flowing over some rocks at a crossing. I ran back to my abandoned dime and brought it back for a rinse and a pat. Seeing ole miss liberty's head appear as the dirt fell off caused an involuntary smile. Sat down on the bank and FaceTimed my wife to show her lol
I had found a seated quarter last year but it had been in a gravel road or fire and was barely recognizable. Since then it's been a blood lust to find a good one. Success!!
Good Job !!
