i see a lot of people got SLQ today ,well heres my story.
today me ,chrisinct and bama decided to hit a park 10 mins from my house that was given over to the town as a park back when chris was born (1894).
straight off i started hitting clad then after 10 mins i hit my first of 5 wheats , yes i thought......there might be silver here.
after working my way around some old trees i decided to head for the pond i could see down below ,by this point my hands felt like someone elses , bloody freezing and as numb as a rock !!!!.
i started working my way around the edge of the pond........penny...penny......wheat.....and then a nice quarter signal at 5 inches (at this point due to my ever numbing hands i had decided to dig nothing less than 4 inches).
i turned the plug over and stuck my pinpointer in the hole and straight away she started screaming !!!!!.
i pulled out a hunk of dirt and broke into it and wow !!!!! have you ever seen a beter condition dug 1917 :huh:thinkingabout:.
among the profanities chris threw at me he said man your killing me do you bring these with you to make me look bad ?.
anyway here is some pics of one of the nicest looking coins ive ever dug

Lee, that is one sweet looking SLQ, :congrats:. Seems like December is SLQ month. I always like the responses that a hunting partner can come up....and to that I say :teasing:
 
I suspect Lee brings old coins in his pocket then says he found it just to get my dander up.

Ill catch him doing it yet.

One of these days buddy I'm just gonna hop in my car and leave you there to fend for yourself.

Lee is without a doubt the luckiest person I've ever met. He's the the kind of guy he would find a Morgan walking through a Walmart parking lot.

there is an old saying where i come from step in dog do do and your lucky for the day .....chris mate........i bath in the stuff lol lol lol
 
sounds like what a couple of my hunting buddeis have told me sometimes it better to be just plain lucky congrats on a beutiful coin everybody right they dont often come out looking that good :perfect10: :perfect10: great job and what a way to go finding that one this late maybe a little while before a lot of us can get back out dennis :detecting: :detecting:
 
What a terrific find, Lee! :loveit:

Such a beautiful coin, and it has very little wear. I just love the beading around the rim on the obverse. So often that is worn off. I found a 1917 SLQ a few months ago that was fairly nice, but yours is even nicer!

:congrats:
 
:shocked04: ... :perfect10: :perfect10: :perfect10:

This is a beautiful specimen Lee. :smitten: A big congratulations to you sir.
I can't imagine digging one in such incredible condition.

I was able to dig one up the same day you did... but it much, much worse shape. lol

Well done, she's fantastic.
