    Quarter Trifecta - Barber, SLQ & Washington

    Hit the quarter trifecta yesterday. SLQ and Washington came out of the same hole. If you look at the reverses you can see where they were sitting on top of each other. I had hunted this place a number of times of the last few weeks and came up with some good finds including 1746 George II, 1838 LC, 1850's silver spoon etc. I didn't have anywhere to hunt yesterday and being that I had permission to go back to this house that was built between 1747-1756 I figured I'd give it another shot. There was one area that seemed to be trashy and I had given it a wide birth. I went back and focused on that area and pulled these coins and the draw pull between the trash. Just goes to show that unless the area is tiny, you just can't hunt a place out. Thought I would throw in a pic of the house. BTW, it's for sale and can be yours for $1.3m.
