One more off the bucket list!

On Monday the 16th of March I officially started my detecting season of 2015. It wound up to be a day that an Iowa boy only dreams of. The last silver coin that I dug was the one I've had on my bucket list for a long time. It was a 1917D Variety 1 SLQ!!!! The rest of the coins I dug were:
1917P Walking Half
1899P Barber Quarter
1907P Barber Dime
Three Mercury Dimes, 1917, 1936, 1937
1915 Buffalo Nickle
Three V Nickles, 1902, 1907, 1909
Two Indian heads ( pretty toasted)
Three Wheat pennies (also toasted)

All in all, it was a pretty darn good start to my 2015 Season, with 9 silvers!

wow Ron, great hunts, ive only been out 2 times , 2 rosies , you are a master ....... whats become of Joe?

Thats a great start to 2015. Two SLQs in one week, PRICELESS and a walker!!!

Congrats on all the great finds.

What an epic hunt! Congrats! Where in Iowa are you from?

Impressive! Congrats.

That's quite a big day for anyone Ron!! Wow!!:shocked05:
Glad you got to scratch one off your bucket list. You know it's a big deal when a quarter makes you happier than a silver half does!:lol:
Man you got all kindsa oldies this week!
That's great!
Congrats! :grin:

It's great to see a post from you, Ron! And what a post it is! :wow:

TWO early SLQs with legible dates?!!! That's amazing! Not only that, but you got a nice early Walker and a Barber Quarter, plus lots of other great coins as well. Was this all from one site?

For sure that 1917-D Type I SLQ is the crown jewel. That coin is on my bucket list as well, I have found 11 SLQs over the years but never a Type I. Yours is extra special because it has a fully legible date! :yes: Man, I can't stop looking at that coin, it's gorgeous!

Congrats on the wonderful finds, and we hope to be seeing a lot of posts like this from you this year! :thumbsup01:

:perfect10:

VERY nice Standing Lib Quarter. Nice way to knock it off your bucket list. You had one heck of a day. I'd be on cloud 9 for a month with a day like that. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who's excited for you and inspired. It's day's like that the inspire us all.

Incredible! Well done! :cool: That 1917-D SLQ is a beauty! :grin:

Congrats again Ron. This bunch of coins is spectacular for the first two hunts of the new detecting season! :loveit: Not counting the half dozen or so silvers you found since I snapped these pictures.

Your 2015 season is off to an incredible start my good friend. Here's hoping you cross a few more off your bucket list this year. :beerbuddy:

Hey there Dave. :waving: I'm still here. Still swinging the ol' Minelab. Finally got out today and a Seated Dime found it's way under my coil.

Wow! What a day! :wow: Some great ratios there :) Awesome coins

Congrats on some great finds. Looks like 2015 will be banner year for you!

I think that SLQ would fill a void in my set. That is a gorgeous looking coin. Congrats WD

Congrats on the great finds.....those SLQ's are lovely! That Walker isn't too bad either...

Very nice hunt and congrats on a bucket lister, WTG.
