Never found a Barber....Can't say that anymore!

Literally at the top of my list because I should have found one way before this but never did.
Don't know why, I can find coins, I got good machines, I have hunted in sites they were known to be found but just wasn't in the cards.

Today in my scoured local park where I never had a thought one of these might still be around I swung over my white whale and captured her...finally.
Shallow too, about 2-3".
The monkey climbed off my back after being up there for about 6 years, I gave him a banana and we said our final goodbyes as he walked into the sunset...good riddance.

Plus it's a quarter, a dime would have been just fine and...and...and it is my first 1800's coin for this year.

Sometimes life is good...real good!
 
C o o l find.. 1st silver dime i ever found was a barber but i have yet to find a barber quarter. .. amazing it was still there and that shallow. . Congrats.
 
nice score and congrats at finally feeding that monkey:cheers:

Question: is this the park that is loaded with iron that you frequently speak about?

Oh yea...everywhere.
But I changed my settings a couple of days ago and they seem to be working well at unmasking.
3 hunts...3 times I came home with silver so I will keep them for awhile.
 
That's a beauty.
 
That's your lucky lady, way to go. Don't change a thing well maybe the batteries evry now and then.
 
Maybe should have kept that Monkey around. I would have looked at it, as good luck! Maybe he would have brought you that silver dollar or better yet, gold coin!
Just my spin on it. If he comes back , feed him two bananas, just to get him back in your good side.
Don't take him fishing though, super back luck there!
 
Well hell it's about time,lol. I ain't found one yet and been at it a long time.
Found a beautiful seated the first year I started but never a barber,I don't
get it because I've heard others find older coins but no barbers.
 
Glad to hear you found your Barber, I know when I find ONE I always say to myself.''There has to be another one'' and I believe this holds true with your park.------GH--------------------------------------after1----------

Thanks all, just a quarter but the joy that some of our finds can trigger can be amazing.

I have a friend that has found a whole lot of great old coins, silver and whatnot, but a silly little IH still eludes him...it is his holy grail.
We hunt together sometimes and I would love to be there when he finally finds one.
 
I just found my first to but I had no idea when I believe it was on a beach near my house I thought it was a state quarter! It's nice 1907 to also my first I found two Barbra dimes in the same hole this year to a 1901 and a 1898 they
look almost new!
 
When I first started detecting one of the first silver quarters that I found was a 1907 Barber and one of the first silver dimes was a 1911 barber. Almost five years later I still have not found another barber of any kind

Goad you got that Monkey off your back. Congratulations.
 
Thank you all!
 
Nice find! I remember a couple of my friends had old analog Whites 6000di's and went out quite regularly hunting. One day while visiting my local pawn shop I saw a Bounty Hunter Pioneer sitting in the corner for $40.00 so I picked it up. I lived in a early 20th century home in a small logging town on the shoreline of Lake Michigan. I got home with that bad boy, put in some brand new 9 volt batteries and started swinging in my yard. First coin I ever pulled out of the ground was a 1907 Barber dime that looked like brand new. It was at that very moment that I was hooked! Now a proud owner of 3 Whites machines and love the hobby.
