1800s Silver & Token / Another Good Hunt

[Digger Don]

Alec and I got out for a few hours this morning. We planned on hunting all day, but Alec's allergies knocked him out of the game early. We hit 2 houses. The first one i dug an 1894-S Barber quarter.

At the second one, I dug an 1899 " Philadelphia Record Newspaper" Token. It was almost 10 "

Cool finds! The barber looks pretty good. Sorry to hear about the allergy problems, that's rough.

Man! Another Barber Quarter! You find SO MANY big old silvers! You find barbers and SLQ's like I find Wheaties! Congrats!

I guess you got tired of digging SLQs so now it's Barber quarters?? Next month will be a wave of seated quarters no doubt! Another great post Don. HH, Dave.

Nice finds. Luckily there haven't been any hindrances shortening hunts, other than plans later on. That token is pretty cool. Good that u have scored a lot of silver lately.

That token is really cool! Allergies suck, I have them pretty badly and have had to cancel hunts before because of it
