Thread: Bucket Lister! SLQ, Buffalo, and War nickel!

  1. #1

    Talking Bucket Lister! SLQ, Buffalo, and War nickel!

    Went to my favorite spot and left with a handful of wheats and and a Buffy! 1924, looked for a D but I can't seem to find it

    Went back the next day and got a 89-92 VDI on the AT Pro.. I didn't think it was a silver quarter at all. I saw the reverse first and it dawned on me: I had dug a SLQ!
    Shes dateless but perfect to me All I can see is a 0 at the end of the date. 1920 or 1930?

    Dug another odd tone and my forth war nickel came out--a 1942 P.

    Thanks for looking

    Nice couple of hunts!
    Anytime you can go home with a few keepers in your pocket, it's a successful hunt!
    And it looks like you had a couple of successful hunts here.
    Congrats on your first SLQ!
    They're sure can be elusive.
