    A four silver day Barbers & SLQ!!

    I took advantage of another nice Feburary day here in Wisconsin with a hunt at my favorite honey hole. The first silver of the day was a 1951 Rosie and it got much better after that. I found 7 wheats 5 of them were within a couple feet of the Rosie and were all in the 20's except one was a 1910. The other silver coins were a 1904 Barber dime, a 1904 Barber quarter and a 1918 SLQ. I would grade the SLQ at VF35 and if you can believe it, it was a 1/2 inch deep and almost straight on edge. The video shows it still in the ground after I cleared the dirt away with the Propointer. I also found a $1.64 in clad and a wrist watch without the band.

    Awesome hunt Jeff! That site continues to be very good to you.

    Great video. Very cool how the SLQ was just right there on the surface. Gotta love how tree roots can
    sometimes push things up.

    Congrats on the all that silver, especially the Barber and SLQ quarters.

    Congrats on the excellent finds!!! Especially the SLQ. That's cool that it was right on top. Seems that every decent signal that i get being that close to a big tree is always under, or inside >:#, a root
