Went to my go to spot today. Had a faint hit that read 90-92 on my at gold. Dug a plug. Nothing yet. Pulled out the pinpointer and it was buzzing on the side of the hole. Used the ole finger to scrap the sides and out pops these. First Barber quarter for me (1893) and first SLQ (dateless 1917). They are both pretty toasted but beautiful in my eyes! Totally stoked.

All of the coins pictured came out of the same hole. They were stacked on top of each other sitting on there side. They were down about 4 to 5 inches and yes that is a 1917 merc. Also, deductive reasoning leads me to believe the slq is a 1917 due to the reverse having no stars below the eagle. No?
