Got out today [attachimg=1] to the site I grabbed a walker at yesterday, and hit an SLQ within the first 10 minutes happydance02 It is barely readable, but it does have a date, 1924.

But that was pretty much it for the coins >:crying02: I did get a handful of wheaties, most of them old (1917 - 30), but no more silvers.

Did get a few more beautiful high tones, most were junk, but one turned out to be my second silver spoon of the year. This one is quite abused >{, you can see how it came out of the ground and what it looks like after I bent it a bit, which makes the other one I found recently, which is almost pristine, rank as one of my all time favorite finds :smitten:. This one is stamped SILVER 850. You'd think it could at least be coin silver >:# lol

HH everyone. Looks like were getting a dose of winter here soon :frozen:, so this may be my last hunt for the time being.

I can see what you mean about an abused spoon. Just for my clarification isn't coin silver 800:huh:thinkingabout: Nice hunting and always nice to see a dated SLQ

I always thought it was 900. I guess I could look it up, but I'm too lazy right now :sleepy:
