    Nice IH and bit of silver. It'd be crazy the barber and Washington dropped at the same time (that'd also be pending they were found at the same place). What's with the Southwest themed turquoise jewelry? Three different pieces with turquoise stones? Must be part of a set someone lost. lol.

    Fantastic bunch of finds, Don! Barber Quarters don't turn up often for me, but you seem to have great luck with them!

    I love the detail on that 1883 Indian Head! It must have been fairly new when dropped. Beautiful coin!

    And you did really well with the silver jewelry too! How cool that all three pieces have turquoise.

    Lifetime totals:
    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves

    Thanks Tony, the really weird part is that all three pieces of jewelry came from different yards.

    Great week Don!
    I don't pull Barber Quarters all the often and the IH's look immaculate compared to most of the ones I dig.

    Great finds Don. Man, the IH is in fantastic shape! The Indians you find often seem to come out of the ground in great condition. My are more often than not nearly toast or heavily won. I hunt more in the woods than you do though, so that's possibly the reason.
