My First Barber! (don't expect Beauty)

Greetings All!
Pulled a few items from the 'Acid Pits'
My Barber is a 1904 quarter, the LC appears to be a 'Classic Head' (08-14),
from the wreath style, & 'One Cent' alignment. seagrass roots were growing through it!
another marked pipestem, this one marked 'Murray/Glasgow' (got a W. White Glasgow the other day), and another black cored stem.
Copper spike fragment and nail. .62 caliber ball,
Couple encrusted Wc's (I can see Lincoln under there).
A small 'J. Sangster' lamp burner.
The coins are toasted as usual, I still love them.
Better Finds are coming, I can feel it!
Best digs to You, & HH

Bad day in the dirt.

Thanks All! If it's old, & I can ID, or date it, I think it's a great find !
rescued & cataloged, rather than eternal obscurity.
Best Digs to You!

1904 quarter would not be a morgan....it would be a barber. George T.Morgan didnt design the Barber quarter, half or dime, but he did design the "Morgan" dollar, and the $100.00 Union Charles E Barber disigned the Barber series.... Just thought you might like to know that.

Yeah baby!
I'll post my bigger sister to that girl, dug at the Duck Pond out here in Denver that is pretty much a toxic waste site. Every, and I mean every bird either fled or died there. Now off limits to humans.
But it's still a Silver coin,
just doesn't weigh as much.

There is only one Morgan I know of...

Congrats on that first Barber! I still remember where I found my first Barber. Always makes me feel like I'm doing something right when I find a first. Good luck on your return hunt!

The salt flats I usually hunt eat silver for breakfast, lunch & Dinner.
this is only the second silver item I've found here.
the gold, copper, & pewter I've dug, more tha make up for the black spots in the mud that were silver coins. Some Goodies below.
HH to all!
