Silver Atlast !!

[buck57]

Hi all. Welp, headed over to Kemper Military School grounds this morning before going in to work, and finally found my first silver :happydance01: <: A Standing Liberty Quarter lying on top of the ground :dontknow: The date was worn off, but these were minted between 1916-1930. Found another school medallion and some clad, oh yea, my first Hot Wheel too :peace: Good hunting to ya all, thumbsup01 Eric

Wow! :shocked04: What a fantastic first silver coin to find. :happydance01: Congratulation buck57.

I've been detecting since fall of 2009 and dug over 400 silver coins... but just one Standing Liberty quarter. They are a hard
one to come by... especially for me. crying01

It's a beauty, even better you found it on the surface. Gotta be more goodies hiding in the ground there. :->

jkress---------400 silver :wow: that's unbelievable. Great hunting thumbsup01 From what I've been hearing, I guess these Standing Liberty's are rare.
POKIE73----------Yea, being a Standing Liberty and on top of the ground is pretty rare from what I hear.

Congratulations on the find. :cheering: :cheering: In Iowa I find about five or six silver dimes for every silver quarter. And I found a 1913 barber dime right on the surface once, so it does happen.
