    Key Date SLQ and dime trifecta!!

    I finally got back in the dirt after a 3 month break. Ive been golfing and I do not like detecting when it is dry and hot. I decided to return to the picnic grove I had success at in the spring. I used the SunRay X8 coil this time, thinking I could sort through the junk better. I have to say the coil did its job. My first coin was a wheat with a Merc. The next dig was a 13 Barber dime with two wheats and a key date SLQ. The SLQ is 1920-D and I would grade it at EF-30 the price guide I have gives it a value of $120. I then managed two more silver a Rosie (to complete the trifecta) and another Merc. I also dug 8 wheats and $2.65 in clad. It was a great four hour hunt and a perfect way to kick-off my fall season. Thanks for looking.

    Nice!! <:
    Glad to see you swinging the coil again instead of the clubs.
    I've been curious to see what was waiting to be found in the picnic grove you started hunting in the spring.
    It will be fun to see what else you pull from there.
    A big congrats on the excellent coins you found on this hunt. The SLQ is a great keeper.
    Good luck on your next trip there.
