Three Barbers, no waiting...

[Silvermonkey]

Greetings All- I've been exploring some new spots, close to home. These are areas that I have over-looked in years past, mostly because they are difficult to access. But what the hell...I suddenly find my self with some extra hours to devote to detecting, so I'm taking a look at everything with fresh eyes. Yesterday's site is a steeply sloped wooded lot that is wedged between a school complex and a residential development.



The first good target was a large copper. That was a nice surprise. It's very worn, but you can see a right facing bust on the obverse. It weighs 8.3 grams, and is 28 mm in diameter. I'm guessing its a Draped Bust LC, but I'm not 100%



About an hour later I found the three Barbers. Two of them ( dime and quarter) were part of a pocket spill. The third a off by itself



The Barber quarter is my favorite... 1894-S...all in all a great hunt! Thanks for looking!

Wow way to go that's a hunt to remember!!! Great finds!!! The copper looks like a KGIII to me. Definitely a right facing bust but the head looks too wide to be a draped bust and the little pony tail is a give away too. The reverse looks like a very faint outline of Britania as well! Silver is awesome but it's hard to beat a colonial copper! It's neat to imagine what someone was doing up there in colonial times!

Very nice. I would call 3 Barbers in a hunt, one great hunt.

close to home is good, nice barbers.

Nice digs. I believe your copper is a William & Mary, much older that a Draped Bust!

 

[eyemustdigtreasure]

You did very well! Wow, what a haul!
That one coin may be a Vermont copper - a super Find...!

 

[nkellam22]

Awesome!
The copper is a William and Mary btw, all dated 1694.

That’s what I’m talkin about. Congratulations

My vote is for William and Mary too. Three Barbers in one hunt? I have only found two in over a year and a half of detecting. Congrats on the great finds.

Nice group of Barbers!

 

[dig deeper now]

Looks like the " BARBER" was waiting for you all this time, wondering when you were coming!!! GREAT GREAT finds.

 

[Joe-Dirt]

Nice finds!!! I’ll agree with the crowd, the copper looks british to me as well!! Congrats

 

[JeffInMass]

That copper is most likely a William and Mary, the bust is quite wide, and you can see the tops of both William and Mary's hair. The coin was made between 1689 - 1694. Welcome to the 1600's club, I found one of these last year as well!
