I finally found something significant today. I have been finding nothing but pull tabs and modern/semi-modern coins. No jewelry, no relics, no silver, etc. WELL THAT ALL CHANGED TODAY :). I am super excited about it. Not necessarily because it's valuable, not because it's old, but because this stuff IS still out there. It may only be one coin...but I would say it's in GREAT condition for 115 years old, and hopefully it's the beginning of better progress during future detecting!

Beautiful coin. I love the barber coin series. Very nicely designed. Congrats on your first (and certainly not last) significant find. :occasion14:

Nice find JC. Thanks for sharing...
 

Awesome Find!!! Hopefully its the first of many!!!
 

That’s a really sweet coin. Congrats. If I read clearly, this is your first silver coin? If so, that’s a heck of a first silver.

Very well done.
 

Now if I could only master the art of Cache hunting haha
 

It’s a beautiful Barber and we hope the first of many for you!
 

Hello Just curious. Definitely a legit find...and in great shape too...nice goin' and keep 'em comin'. Good luck out there. C9
 

I’m lucky enough to have found 3 over the years....
None of them a nice as yours.
Congrats on a great first silver!
 

Oh man I bet you’re stoked! Nice work
 

Sweet coin! Now you are officially addicted.
 

Congrats JC. That Barber quarter is a beauty. Great stuff is out there, just waiting to be found. Finding it just takes a lot of research, a lot of hours in the field, and a strong conviction that "Today is the day" that you're going to find something amazing. Wishing you many amazing future discoveries!
 

That’s is on many people’s bucket list including mine. I️ have found a couple Barber dimes and my first Barber Half (1900) this year, but have yet to find that beautiful Barber Quarter. Congratulations on a epic first silver find it’s a great one. You are officially hooked! Doesn’t feel grand? Lol
 

Well done buddy!!!!!! Like I said before keep your head up and keep swinging. Beautiful coin and a great find. There will be more if you believe!🖒
 

Love it love it love it! Congrats!
 

Nothing short of beautiful my friend. I don't score many Barber Quarters or any other denomination so they are kind of "significant" to me as well. May you begin to accumulate a nice treasure chest full of them.:headbang:
 

Dream Coin - Congratulations! :notworthy:
