Hi folks. The wife gave me a few hours tonight to detect. After taking care of the horses and dogs, I went to a local school nearby. I've never found much at this school, but clad and a few wheaties. Tonight I managed a 44 wheatie, a clad dime and a flat button whith the shank attached. On the way back to the truck, I got a nice 84 vdi on the V, so I figured another quarter. It was. I dug, flipped the plug and saw silver. An 1876 seated quarter. The back is pretty well worn off, and the front is in nice shape. Blew me away as this was a new school. Ya just never know. Dave.......sorry no pictures as my camera is broke. ( bless the grandkids who played with it )
A silver surprise

Congrats on the incredible find! That's the exciting part about this hobby, you just never know what's going to be down there in the hole!
