1898 quarter

[AntiqueMeds]

lots of people give up metal detecting after digging a few hundred bottle caps, pull tabs, and shotgun shells with a cheap machine.
you really need to know where you are hunting and what you are looking for to set up a machine correctly.
If I'm digging in a civil war camp back in the woods I will be using a much different setting than when I'm hunting a public beach.

Great Find..I too found a 1898 barber quarter while metal detecting...It is just as exciting as bottle digging because you never know what your going to find!!! The signal for a pull tab is the same signal for gold rings, so don't not dig a pull tab signal..because you never know!!!

Nice job on the spoons aj!

I wish I had a CW relic site to hunt. So many people on the MD forums I go to find such cool stuff. Some of it crazy valuable. Would just be nice to dig into that part of history and actually see it/hold it.
