Finally!1904 Barber quarter,45p nickel,broke block I

[DigIron2]

finally found my first silver of the year.Went out yesterday evening to one of my sites.The first thing I dug was the nickel, finally some silver!Then the indian came along.the hunt was going in the right direction.started digging a few odds and ends.Then I got another good sound,poped out a clod of dirt and seen a silver edge sticking out,i thought to myself "there it is",Pulled it out,and it took me a minute to figure out what it was,as you can see it is not in all that good of shape,at first I thought I might have a seated,then I saw the Barber Head,was pretty stoked on it.The end of the hunt on the edge of dark I found the block I.when it popped out the whole I knew it was a two piece that was broken,When I saw it was a block I it kind of felt like somone punched me in the stomach,being broken and all,I like to think I didn't do that to it,i ran my machine over the whole a few times to see if I could hear the little piece,but didn't hear nothing,so I am thinking Maybe I didn't hit it.thanks for lookin-HH everyone! oops forgot about the brass ring.

I was stoked to find the button,but I can't help for that little broken piece to bother me.she would have been a pretty one too.

Congrats on those nice digs. The soil in your area is rough on silver

I don't believe you damaged the button buddy. That's a great little hunt. Glad you got that first silver knocked down

allot off farming around here. Most of the time it is fertilizer that gets me.These came out a cow pasture.I think there is allot of acid in their manure,

Thanks Ahab,I hope I didn't .I use a pick,it seems like it would have been more damage then that,but I really don't know.The broken piece didn't seem to be there with it.

Nice finds for sure and thanks for sharing.

I did a horse corral and found two clad quarters that were damned near gone along with paper thin cents, a dime and super acid ate nickles as well. I though, damn, that horse pee is corrosive stuff.

I'd try and clean the quarter with a hot peroxide or oxyclean bath and cotton swabs.

Bad about the 'I" button DI2 but good about the coins. WTG, Q.

Nice hunt congratulations on the first silver

Those are some very nice coins. I would take the pressure off yourself about the button. I think if you hit it with the shovel, you would have done more damage to it than it shows.
