It's Barber Time!! 25 Wheats, 2 Silver (1895 Quarter)

Hello Everyone,

I went out detecting yesterday with my good buddies oknorom(Mike), DanaPointVal, and GoldenApples(Jon). We all found plenty of oldies yesterday at our local Barrio park that has been pounded by many detectorists over the past 25 years. My silver to wheat ratio wasn't so great yesterday, but I did manage to find my oldest coin from this park, which is my oldest silver so far this year. The barber quarter came out of the ground as a white-ish/grey disk at around 7-8", which was probably in circulation for plenty of years after its mintage. After recovering countless mercs/rosies from this park so far this year, seeing a Barber quarter in your plug is a pleasant surprise. These types of coins are definitely a rarity here in S. CA. After recovering nearly 770 silver coins over the past 14 months, I've only managed to find 4 of them. I removed the oxidation from the quarter using electrolysis.

We all had a blast!

Thanks for looking! Keep the Passion High!!

Good deal on the Barber Quarter. They are even tough in Ohio so I can imagine out in California. They always seem to surprise you when they turn up. 8)

Wow, coincidental timing, Henry. I actually thought you were reading my mind when I saw your reply. I just finished getting a haircut, but I know what you really meant.

WTG Captn_SE on the excellent finds your finding silver and i hope my work slows down so i can go find clad ! clad would make me very happy right now your awesome with that SE congrats

Thanks, weasel!! Any day out detecting is better than the best day at work...IMHO

Nice barber quarter Dan. I have only been fortunate enough to find 4 barber coins (all dimes). I was thrilled when I found each one. Definitely a change of pace from the newer silver coins.....not that I've found too many of those either. You certainly are the silver king Keep up the good work.

Thanks Rob!! Even though I've dug a lot of silver, I don't have that many barbers in comparison. I'm always thrilled to hold one in my hand. Appreciate the accolade, buddy!!

WOW nice barber WTG

Thanks, Sonny!! Good luck to you!

Thanks, MUD(S.W.A.T)!! There's got to be a barber quarter somewhere in the ground with your name on it!!

Good deal on the Barber Quarter. They are even tough in Ohio so I can imagine out in California. They always seem to surprise you when they turn up.

Thanks, Bob. Considering the majority of my silvers are from the 30's-60's, an 1800's silver is definitely a pleasant surprise.

Great job, as always, Dan. Very nice Barber. I'm still looking for my first. Thanks for being an inspiration to us all, and setting a great example for us to follow. You're a great ambassador for our sport!

hh,

Dr. Ace

Appreciate the accolades, Dr. Ace. I'm sure in time you will find one of these elusive coins. Keep the Passion High!!

Very Nice Dan. How do you do it?
HH,

Hey, thanks, Tom. I'm not sure how I did it. I asked my SE the same question....my SE replied by saying, "That's what I do best. I find elusive silver coins for you. Let's go find more".

Go ahead on man! You are the silver coin finding master. Great job!!

Thanks, Jimmy! Get out there and find some old silver. It will cure the common cold...

Thanks everyone!

Dan,

Hey, my friend, I am super happy for you! Finding a Barber quarter in a hunted part is a GREAT day! You always make for great threads here on Tnet. I don't know what we would do without our "Wilver God."

I bet you were getting excited after hearing the flute sounds of a Barber qwwwwata. The new Sunray is already paying for itself!

Keep the passion high, friend!

Hey Dan, Yep that sure was a very sweet find, I know before you dug the BQ I was nearly at the end on the energy scale but seeing you make that find from the area we were hunting sure got my blood flowing again and ready to dig some more
