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!

Many thanks to all of you eagle-eyed experts who helped to ID the copper. The consensus opinion says its a William and Mary Half Penny. To dig a coin minted in the 1600's is quite a thrilling ( and humbling) experience. I count myself very fortunate to live in part of the country where that's even a possibility. I greatly appreciate all of the nice comments from everyone! Scott.
