My First Silver Sixpence And My First Barber Quarter!

[size=medium]The kids and I went out yesterday afternoon at a new spot. We only got in about 30 minuets before a storm came in and sent us packing. But right before we left, I got a great sounding signal and pulled out a 1943D Australian Sixpence. This coin was minted at the Denver mint, so it went "Down Under" then back to the US. Was very happy to have a neat first silver find in such a short time.
Getting back to this spot was on my mind all day. We went back down with only about an hour to hunt. Within 10 minuets I pulled a 1935 Merc, and was happy to have another silver from here. A few minuets later after digging up some clad, I get an awesome quarter/half signal fairly deep on the Etrac. I popped the plug, dug out some of the loose dirt and saw that sweet sight of a silver quarter in the hole. I was excited to see that as I picked it up I thought maybe an SLQ, until I looked closer and saw it is the Barber I have been wanting to find! I have found a few Barber dimes and 1 Barber half, but this quarter has been eluding me until today. That pretty much did it for me, found a few wheats before we left.

I found a Hopalong Cassidy Good Luck Coin this past Saturday along with a Buffalo & the most worn Mercury dime I have ever found. HH David[/size]

Congrats on all the great finds Dave ! :beers:
 
Congratulations on the finds and your first Barber quarter. Thanks for the pictures. Did you "sing a song" just before uncovering the sixpence....and also, did you have a pocket full of rye at the time?????:lol:

Congrats on your first Barber quarter! The Aussie coin isn't too bad either!
 
Way to go! Nice finds!
 
Wow, that's an awesome Barber quarter! Congrats, I know how much you've been craving a BQ, well deserved.
The sixpence is a neat find as well. What's the D MM on there?
 
That is a good looking BQ Sooper!
