Thread: Five Silver Afternoon

    Five Silver Afternoon

    It wasn't uncomfortably cold today, so I took a drive out to one of the CT parks. When I arrived there I began working the outside of the park, an area facing the road. But I soon decided to head toward one of the fields. As I was considering moving to the field a vehicle stopped near me. It was Bruce. He was itching to swing his E-Trac. Apparently we both have the same ailment, silvernitis mustahaveit.

    I waited for Bruce to park his car and then we walked out to the field where we chatted for a bit. He then remained at that location while I walked over to the area I wanted to hit. There was plenty of trash to deal with there, but I worked it slowly and managed to dig up five silver coins - three mercury dimes, dated 1923, 1940-D and 1941, a 1964 Washington quarter, and a 1928 standing liberty quarter. I also picked up a nice sterling silver pin. It's the size of a dime.



    The standing liberty quarters sure are beautiful coins. They do make for sweet finds, though I would never complain about finding a 1964 quarter.



    Three more mercury dimes added to the pile.



    Now I'm looking forward to the weekend!

    HH!

    I told you that hill had more silver.

    I thought for sure you would pull some silver from that other location. It's where I dug up one of the Walkers and several mercury dimes. I'm sure there is more there. It is a large area.

    We were detecting at opposite sides of the park, though I think Bruce may have heard my loud yes! when I pulled the Standing Liberty quarter.

    You know, I doubted I would make 450, but now I'm daring to hope.

    Nice work. I'd love to find a SLQ. That one's even sweeter by the fact that you can read the date.
    I think we could start a contest for 2010 where we all guess how many silver coins Angel will dig up.
    From The Pacific Northwest to Orange County...
