This one checked off a couple firsts for me - first New Orleans minted coin, and first pre-1900 barber coin. I was hunting this morning in a wooded area in an old park. The soil is very moist due to a summer of rain and the weeds are almost gone, thanks to the deer. I got a good silver-sounding signal, but the conductivity was dropping down into the lower 20s. It was a deep one though, which in this area is always something good. Dug a hole down about 7 inches. I saw the remains of the change purse first, then the shiny quarter in the dirt pile. An 1894-O quarter, fairly low mintage, but not a semi-key. Looks like F or VF to me. I searched the hole and deepened it looking for more coins, but nothing. Other finds were a 1951 wheat and two memorials. This was also my first change purse. Total hunt time 2.0 hrs.
