Made a solo trip back to our "Barber" property. I went back to a small area we just hit the day before.
My first decent hit wasn't ten feet from where I pulled a two Indian spill. It was a mid to high 80's hit but, didn't sound like a coin or silver. Flipped a plug and found my target but, it the color looked like lead. Took a closer look at it sticking out of the plug and saw a reeded edge.
Picked it out and a quick rinse with some water saw I had a Seated Quarter, 1877-S. Wow!!
Texted the kid and then started swinging again. Next I found two more v-nickels, 1902 and 1912. These two take our total to 9 or 10 from here alone.
A token was next, "Stage 15 1599 Baily Licensed For Super Hydrate Only".
More old copper showed itself next, we're think 1816 Coronet followed by a couple silver dimes. First one rang up 77-80 like a wheat. It was deep and hole was rocky. Finally found it in the hole and saw it was silver. I ended up hitting it not worrying that it was only a wheat. A few feet away a plated religious pendant followed by another low ringing merc, this one rang up 79-80.
Only other keepers were a couple wheats and a flattened excelsior button.

You are making me seriously jealous man!

That seated quarter is sweet! You got all sorts of goodies today. Congrats DS.
 

What the heck man. You got a hell of a spot. I door kocked a 1804 hoise yesterday. Got a yes and found zincolns and oldest quarter was an 84. Thats 1984....


Keep up the good work.
 

Congratualtions on the coin and relic hunt! :notworthy:
 

Seems that Barber property has no limit to the assortment of coins you're able to find there- good for you and Congrats!

Fantastic seated quarter! Great find man
 

Man you are on a hotspot! All great finds, and you gotta love popping a Seated quarter!
 

Great hunt! Nice "as dug" photos always helps the story of your saves. Great job!
 

Congrats on that Seated Quarter, and all the rest of your finds. Looks like a great place to be hunting.
 

A silver of any kind will make me smile. But, a seated quarter? Lovely!
 

ok, seriously envious !
 

Special congrats for the early "S" mint mark, not an easy find on the east coast.
 

Wow that's a super duper superfecta! Seated, barber, merc and LC in one hunt... way to go... that's epic!
