Morning silver dig and another first!

[Digger_O'Dell]

Hi all,
I have had a permission at a coworkers 1942 house since last fall but due to many reasons I never got out to his place until today. He swore that I wouldn't find anything-he figured if he didn't find anything while putting up a fence digging post holes the place was barren.
Well, he was WRONG! I started in the small back yard. On on the very first swing I got a solid 12-44 at 6 inches. Love and behold I pull out my first SLQ! Worn pretty smooth and no date of course, but that's another one off the bucket list. Overall it was a sweet yard. Only a couple clad but giving up 8 wheaties(oldest being 1919), a 1951 Washington quarter and a 1946 rosie. Also got a wick holder section from an old hurricane lamp, a key, and another ring. Pretty good for a small yard! The coworker says now maybe I can do his dad's yard down the street soon too. Let's hope!



Also found 3 old garden hose nozzles

Huge congrats on the SLQ, worn or not they are a great find. Great pile of keepers.....

How does one lose 3 hose nozzles?

Three silvers from one yard

Thank everyone !

Wanted to add another photo. Cleaned up this item and found it to be a wick holder from an old oil lamp. I have no idea what the other piece is. It's threaded on the bottom.

Bingo, found a name and model on the adjuster wheel. E. M. & Co. Venus. Dates to around 1898. Wow!

Congrats on a first and the other finds, WTG. The SLQ is one of my favorite coins to find they are elusive but show up now and then.

Chris great find on the SLQ. Also, remember to look it over good after a month or so as it seems some times some of the date start to show. Nice finds. WD

[Digger_O'Dell]

Thanks for the advice WD. It's pretty worn smooth, so won't hold my breath.
