Finally got that barber quarter monkey off my back!

Got a nice late 1800s permission today and finally scratched the barber quarter from his bucket list! 1899 baby! 12 wheats and some trinkets including the awesome 1892 lock. Thanks for looking and happy Hunting

Great save, Cjon! Funny thing...after digging a bazillion clad quarters (over 2 dozen '65's-really)..I finally got on some old, virgin dirt and dug my first silver quarter, a1936 GW. I was so excited, I jumped in my car and sped home, about 3/4 mile away. Jumped out..SCREAMING..went to show the wife...couldnt find it. DEVASTATED...I thot I put it on the roof and drove off, losing it forever. I drove back, picked up my ATP, as it was still in the yard lol..and scanned the hole. Keep in mind, the signal was scratchy and jumpy at first, now loud and clear, solid 87. I bend down, wondering why the signal had changed and why I'd put it back in the hole? As I got on my knees something gleaming caught my eye-my silver GW was in the grass 3 feet away. Uhh, so what about the solid 87 in the hole!? I peeled my plug back out...pinpointed, reached in and plucked out an 1898 Barber Quarter! So figure...first silver GW, first Barber quarter, first silver quarter spill...same hole! Sorry for rambling Cjon, but that story just sticks with me! Congrats, Ddf.

Chris, I’m surprised that a barber quarter was the monkey on your back considering all of your great old silver finds over the years. Congrats

thanks! Go figure I've found a barber half, a bunch of dimes, even 2 seated quarters and finally got that white whale barber quarter!

I have only found two barber quarters in 30+ years of detecting. A 1915S and a 1898. I was thrilled to find both of them. Congrats on finding yours.
