Hey Hive Folk,
Hope everyone is doing well!
I've been fortunate in Indiana to still be able to metal detect in January! Usually the ground would be frozen by now, but Mother Nature has been kind to me! During the holidays I've been able to stack two more silver finds! An 1899 Barber quarter and a 1934 Mercury Dime. Both about 6 inches underground. These were both found on public land. It's amazing to think about the historic journey of these coins.
A beauty, 1899 Barber Quarter, found on public land. The US quarter from 1892-1916. 90 percent silver
Reverse side of coin
Found this on public land as well, today. 1934 Mercury Dime. This was the US dime from 1916-1945.

My totals for the past 9 months of metal detecting are 12 silver coins found, 15 silver pieces if including rings.
This picture is a collection of all my silver coins found metal detecting... before the two just shown above. I'm glad I have two Barbers now! Both the Barbers were 1899 haha.
Bonus: For the numismatic collectors as these are copper or nickel, over 70 wheat pennies, 3 Indian Heads, and two V-nickels found
I do like finding old coppers too!
Stay thirsty for treasure! Keep Stackin'
Cheers!
