Hello everyone, Been along time since I've been able to metal detect with 2 young ones + work but I recently started to visit TN and reading all of the wonderful treasure finds got me motivated to make the time to go hunt. Today I decided to hunt in the woods not expecting to find any coins but possibly old hardware or anything really, kinda just needed to get out and swing. I got a quarter signal at 3 INCHES? and could not believe what it was. made my month. I know it's not that big of a deal and allot of you guys are finding such things on a daily basis but it's a huge find for me. I don't even think my town in central ca is even that old. you know I'm going back asap to grid that area again. thanks for looking

Nice Barber! Most of my best finds are from the woods.
 

excellent barber. hope you find more. congrats!
 

It is a big deal and a fantastic save!:thumbsup:
 

I have found over 160 silver coins including a seated quarter, two seated dimes, and a peace dollar. Still haven't found that barber quarter. Go figure. Congrats on a great find
 

Shoot I reckon! That's a huge find in my book any day. Good for you!
 

Great find! Congrats- I'm still searching for my first Barber. Good luck on your next hunt.
 

Trust me, it's a big find. I've been detecting for 18 months and never even found a silver Washington quarter yet!
 

thanks everyone for the kind comments. I just checked for the mint mark and don't think it has one
