Amazing 40 Minute Hunt - 1st Barber Quarter

[milco]

As some of the construction projects I have been hitting in June have come to an end the search began this morning on the way in to work for new sites. I started out for work over an hour early and discovered a major project which looks like it began a few weeks ago. I only had a very short time today to give a small area a test run and am I glad I did. Within five minutes I got a very solid quarter signal at about two inches and flipped up the dirt and out pops my first barber quarter! I spent the next 30 minutes going over a small area pulling out four coins...I think. The quarter and IH were easily ID'd but more work will be required on the others. Needless to say I have a new area I will be hitting as often as possible.

This is the start of the area, which extends a number of blocks.
