    best day with the ctx

    I went to a local park that has been hunted and hunted almost every day > and found a house that was fenced off that was being remodeled so I stopped and asked the work foreman if I could hunt around the house and was given the go ahead they had taken off approx. 6 of top soil so I started searching next to the house and worked my way out right at the outset I found a nickel and some clad then as I moved away from the house I found some wheat pennies dates on the wheat pennies were 1944,1945,1945D,1946D, which gave me hope then I found a merc, 1941, some more wheats and another merc , 1944, as I moved around to the side I had a solid 46 hit at 2 so I dug it out carefully and almost fell over looking up at me was a Standing Liberty Quarter my first , the SLQ was in bad shape I couldn't get a date off it but I think it has an S for a mint mark, needless to say I was working that area to death LOL I also found a Colorado tax token pretty hammered so I couldn't get a better picture, and I found the front part of an old toy car sure wish it was whole LOL to end the hunt I found an old belt buckle , thanks for looking I know this isn't much for some of you pros out there but it's great for me LOL

    Sounds like a great opportunity that you were fortunate to get. Just think how deep those coins really were if you add the 6 in and scatter a lot of shallow trash around it. Now we know why these coins are still there. I always love to find sites like that.

    Just awesome Sarge! Good for you for noticing your surroundings. Congratulations on a fantastic hunt buddy. Sorry I have been MIA this fall. Looking forward to getting together for a hunt.

    on your 1st SLQ. Nice that the foreman let you hunt. Seems to me that the house was definately from the 40's.
