Two firsts for me- Minie ball on New Jersey beach and Barber quarter

[kschae4]

Well, was I ever surprised to find these two beauties. First smile came last weekend when I jumped into a sidewalk tear-out where our destoyed boardwalk from Superstorm Sandy is being replaced. If I recall correctly, New Jersey never had an official battle or skirmish on our soil. Guessing a CW verteran's kid was playing with the three ringer and lost it.. (35 tid on safari ) . Second smile turned into a happy dance this evening when the Barber's eagle reverse at 8-9 inches glanced back at me after many decades hidden away. Heard that sweet, flutely music and glanced to see the tid bouncing between 38-39 and dug ever cautiously hoping for big silver and my oldest quarter to date.. Thanks for viewing.

Great find...I'm still looking for my first old coin, personally I will be ecstatic if I find an old buffalo nickel.

Very nice silver there! I wished we had some storm action on our beach's to stir the sand up a bit and reveal some older coins and jewellery!
