    Sunday afternoon

    Familiar town not quite hunted out. Surprised with a two quarter spill, one being my long sought after type 1 standing liberty!

    Thanks Don. You probably remember I was scared to death I was going to rub it or look at it wrong! Already in plastic so I'm not tempted to clean it any further!

    2 quarters in the same hole. I’m just so happy I didn’t hit it with the shovel! Thanks.

    That SLQ is spectacular, Tim! WOW! That spill must have happened in 1917 because the dates wore off of those SLQs in no time. That's one of the nicest examples I've seen on this forum.

    You know you've had a great hunt when an 1897 barber Quarter comes in second place.

    Lifetime totals:
    9 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 19 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves

    Wonderful silver Tim! Never found an SLQ myself, though alas I only hunt really old field and wood sites.

    Some day I'm going to your neck of the woods and find some colonial silvers. For now I have to settle for the 20th century LOL. But thanks!
