Big 1894S silver!!

[Mark kus]

Saturday morning I stayed near home a smaller field behind a old hotel which has given up som great coins and gold rings!
My first signal was a memorial penny but the second signal was a great 32-34 high tone one direction a very deep signal.
This spot was very close to where I found two 14k rings!
I cut a nice bigger plug and pin pointed the coin in the hole so I took a big scoop out and when I flipped it I saw the eagle!!!
I was hoping it was a seated but happy that it was a 1894 S barber half my second barber half in one year!
Then I rechecked the hole and a 1906 Indian was also in the hole.
I’ve been through this spot countless times because it was within feet of where I found two gold rings!
I hit the silver quarter at a 1700’s house yesterday along with the two flat buttons and buckles.
15 wheats and $8.25 in quarters dimes and nickels.

I went out yesterday for an hour and got skunked! The only thing I got was tired old legs from dragging 2" of mud on my boots!

I’m way over in southern Wisconsin. I’ve dug a dozen Walkers, a Franklin, 4 Barber halves, 2 Morgans....about half of them were good signals, others were sketchy....all but 2 were pretty deep to the best of my recollection. It’s amazing these coins are STILL lying around, but you know they are! You just find them way faster!

Your 1894 Barber Half is in wonderful condition,..... it's hard to find them in that grade when your pulling
them out of the ground. "In my opinion" it was lost within 2 or maybe 3 years at best...... after it was minted.
GREAT FIND...! and GREAT DETECTING..!

Thanks IDX I’ve found quite a few walkers a few Franklins and two Barbers one last summer actually it’s in a spot less than a mile from where I found this one in a collage yard where that same spot same day I found two SLQ’s one the nicest 1917 looked like it was dropped the day it was minted!

I love that one that's a big red cedar tree I cut down next to my shed looked like a good spot..

Awesome digs! That's a beautiful Barber half! The first half I found many years go was an 1894 s. She was a well worn beauty but yours is in great shape. Big Congrats!

 

[Mark kus]

Thanks Dave I like yours to!

I like the deer pin. Great going MKUS you're really killing it. I guess it's all about location.
