Got to hunt on a "virgin" piece of property last Friday. It is an old homestead that a German family lived in years ago. It is right smack dab in the middle of a wheat field. Its about a half acre of land that is covered in beautiful tall oak trees. The entire piece of property is littered with old red bricks and as far as metal is concerned, not alot of trash iron. I hunted for about 4 hours straight before I got my first "real" coin signal and look what popped out. I was hunting with my wife's uncle and we were getting pretty discouraged that we had not found anything yet. About 15 minutes before I found the coin he said, "if we do find something it will be old". There was not even one clad coin out there and definitely no pull-tabs. Cant wait to go back. This is my oldest coin yet and my first Barber quarter. And by how wore out it is, I bet it could tell us some stories! Enjoy.
 
Now thats cool (No trash out area, waiting on a beep from the Ace. No pull tabs ?) Good luck , sounds like a silver producer.
 
Nice find. That puppy has seen a lot of use but back then very few folks had paper money and coins were it. Most everything was bought and sold with coins and people carried them in a coin purse like we carry paper money in a wallet.

Nice hunt!:detecting:Congrats on the silver!:beers:Thanks for sharing!:biggrin:Happy Hunting!:)
 
Sweet find. A quarter was a lot of dough in 1894. Congrats on a lucky day!

Nice find!!
 
Yeah you could live all day on a quarter back then. I'm old enough to remember when a quarter would buy what $25.00 will buy today.

:yo:sweet
 
I know that coin would still be there if I was doing the hunting. I just can't make it that long without a keeper. Yeh wonder how long it waited on you to bring it up? Great job!!
