    First Barber

    Only took me 3 years to find it. Decided to hit a field next to a school last night that showed a residence there on historic maps in 1875.
    I'll be back there for sure.

    Very nice Barber quarter. That location should yield you a few more keepers.

    Re: First Barber

    Nice, clean looking Barber quarter It is a good feeling knowing there was something in that field that the average person didn't know. That usually leads to some nice finds and I think this is no exception. I bet some nice coins and relics will come out of there. My advice is dig some of the iffy signals, you may get a nice surprise.
    Finding relics is in my blood

    That's a great find, hope you find more at that site.

    I understand that silver coins ( coppers also) are becoming a rarity in your home state.....the story goes that someone is using an E-Trac on steriods and has found so much silver and copper that it requires round the clock guarding. lol lol lol
