If it had sold for 10 times that much, it wouldn't be close to being worth as much as being able to show my friends I had one in my collection. I dream about making just 1 find like that in my lifetime, and I never think about what it's "worth". All the same, congrats to you on such an amazing find and the successful auction.
Great video showing the full story of finding to selling and all the emotions along the way. Nice one, man. GL&HH
Are you sure that coin dealer is not Bob Villa? Oh, and BTW, being armed is not paranoia, its common sense.

@@jeeper2371 He was armed when transporting the coin between shops to get information on it. With a coin that, for all he knew, could be worth $20,000, it pays to be armed. Just as banks protect their money with firearms.. At least we have the God given right to self defense here and we're not complete slaves to our system of government just yet..

Keeping your finger off the trigger isn't paranoid either, it's just common sense.
I was waiting for this video when I knew you found one! Now to watch it! Apart from you. I am probably one of the youtubers that will appreciate this coin find the most. =D HUGE congrats!
For all the novice metal detector hunters out there who aren't coin collectors, this is how you get the best bang for your buck: careful research, lots of patience, and expert advice from a professional. Dr. Tones does it the right way, excellent job and amazing find, Doc!
though I had some problem with sea water It also kzread.infoUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn
That was the most inspirational metal detecting video I've ever watched!!! Think I'll watch that before every hunt I go on and always be stoked to dig :)

Awesome find. I am charging all my metal detector batteries right now. Watching someone find something this cool really helps me deal with all the junk I dig up. Thanks for the nice video.
Excellent job and score of a lifetime, Doc! I'm a coin collector (of sorts), I would be hard pressed to sell that beauty.
What a fabulous find. Congratulations! $6,251 is indeed a lot of money for a quarter, but this is a very rare coin and the undisputed "King" of the Barber Quarter series. Without the surface damage from being buried in the ground, this piece could easily have brought in the $25,000 to $30,000 range. No kidding! (Being a life-long coin collector, I could never have parted with it even at that price!)
I've watched this several times now...even posted this video to my own wall. I still enjoy your excitement and how you handled the entire situation. Great job...well done!!
Damn great find! I probably would have fainted if I saw the date. That is an awesome coin congrats on the auction! Can't wait to hunt with you soon in Ga! GL and HH

WoW!!! What a Awesome story.This is what every metal detectorist strives for.Great video!!!
Love how paranoid he is, packs some heat when going out to show the coin and then sends it through the mail hahaha, yea, nothing ever gone missing through the mail system has it
Awesome, great find, very rare, thanks for sharing the experience with such detail. That's one reason why I don't really do much coin/relic detecting, I'm a coin collector and know how rare it is to have something like that turn up that is of real value.
I found a Barber today. You're an inspiration to us all!
Congrats Dr Tones! Very good video of the journey of your Barber Quarter. Every metal detectorists dream to find a rare item and being able to sell it. Thank You for sharing!
Every detecterists dream. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
watching this vid made me happy for you. I've only metal detected a few times, but now I want to keep digging.
Congrats... Great find and video! Thanks for taking us along!!!
Thanks for sharing! That is definitely a find of a lifetime...and we got to experience it with you!
What a really great story, I am not a metal detecting guy, but love watching your videos. Well done Dr. Tones. That just rocks. :)
It is so cool to see a coin like that find its way from the ground to an auction. Your videos never disappoint and we are big fans. Great job and congrats on that fantastic find. Joe and Joe
Very cool capture of the process you and that coin went through together.
Congratulations on the find and the sale! My oldest silver find was a 1917 standing Liberty quarter found in Meridian that looked like it was dropped the day it was minted. I too went to Rose Hill Coin and that guy bought it. (Wish I got $6,000 for it!) Again, Congrats!
What a glorious find! I am glad that you got what it is worth and that it was real and not a counterfiet!
It's always amazing when you find something rare. Sometimes I feel like a garbage man, sifting through the bottle caps and pull tabs for weeks before I find a good spot. And even then, I'm not finding anything worth more then one hundred dollars. Good Job!!!!!

Yup, that's how it goes man. It's in the garbage though...at the very bottom of the pile 😉
I'm so happy for you! I have never found anything worth more than maybe $10 or so, but just seeing someone get an amazing coin like this is awesome!! It must of been a really great experience and you must have been so proud. Where I live everything is new so it is really rare to find something old, but hopefully I will soon make trips and find more places to search. Metal detecting is such an amazing hobby, from finding a 2000 penny to a (like yours) 1901 s barber, keep st it and good luck!!!

Good for your Dr. Tones. I've found many 1901's but never a 1901 S. Find of a lifetime for sure.
Way to go. I've made some great finds over my 6 year relic hunting "career", though nothing like this. However, my day is coming soon, I know it. Thanks for posting - great video!
Very nice find! Reminds me of digging my most valuable coin. It was my first seated and my first 1800s coin, an 1862S Dime in amazing condition. I freaked when I dug it out, and almost passed out when I looked up the value. I had it graded and it came back AU Details. Congrats on the find and thanks for all the videos.
Wow an authentic detecting video! This is as rare as the coin itself.
Awesome find. Thank you for sharing. This is such a great story and I am happy for you. What a great way to start my day watching this!
Had to watch this video again. Having a similar situation atm. I just found a 1916 D merc in possibly a good condition at all places found at 5ft under the ocean break of all places. love your videos man keep it up and happy hunting from socal.
THAT is awesome! Serious congrats are in order! Damn, Do i need to get a detector. Been watching these metal detecting videos for like 2 years now! lol
Awesome, My grandpa gave me small coin collection long ago and got me hooked on history lol. Just recently got a metal detector, some day I'll dig up something better than trash lol.
Dude, I am packing Heat all the time!!! Just bought me a Metal Detector. Got permission to hunt 34 acres around a Historic Home built in the 1840's, can't wait.
I've yet to find any silver, but watching this video gives me so much hope! I sometimes get discouraged, but I know it is out there! Great find, great video, Ty Dr Tones! I'll keep looking!

Great story, I enjoyed your success, all of us hope to have a lifetime find someday... That's why we metal detect!
Sweet!!! I got excited over the bidding too! Hope you find some more great ones like that.
Awesome video bro.. Very detailed in specifying your exp. Very educational, very well done. Love your work keep us posted.. It's admirable and appreciated what you're doing. Thank you
You're so brave to have mailed that coin in for appraisal. 1) It could have gotten "lost" in the mail. Or "misplaced" in the auction bldg? Scary.
That is so awesome and it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Oh wait yes it could. It could have been me! Lol.

Good job dude, you put a lot of time, energy, and production into your videos, you deserve it. I've been detecting for 2 years. My best finds were 9 roman coins and a silver spoon in a stream in the woods. In America of all places! Congrats to you again, I hope you dont find them all though lol.
Fantastic find sir every time I see a coin come out of the ground and the digger rubs the dirt off/into it..a coin like yours could lose $1000s in value..glad your a pro..and didnt mess yours up.. cleaning polishing is just as bad..good vid nice pistol..
