I met up with Mike, Richard, & Ron today downtown Eugene Oregon to do some detecting! We all found some nice treasures!

Today I did it ~ I finally dug a Barber quarter ~ 1902! DANG, she's ugly, but she's my first (Hmmm . . . . just like when I lost my virginity). The poor thing is beat up! I dug it in the same vacant lot that I dug a 1880 Indian Head Cent a few months ago. Before I dug the Barber quarter today I dug a 1905 Indian Head cent, seven wheats from 1927 to 1958, 3 clad quarters, 11 clad dimes, 2 nickels, & 34 memorial cents.

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Very Cool. 8) When you say "finally"...how long was it? Six months? Those coins are pretty hard to come by....

No ~ actually this is the first and only Barber Quarter that I've found in over 15 years of detecting! I've dug two barber Halves and about 20 Barber dimes . . . . heck, I dug two gold coins last year! But this ugly beat-up 1902 Barber quarter that I dug last Saturday is my first!
 
Yea! Congrats on that FIRST Barber quarter, OC! :thumbsup:

Great Find
