I'm only half kidding. I don't now about anyone else but whenever I go detecting with a negative attitude, this site sucks, I'll probably get skunked AGAIN at this site, etc. that's generally what happens. I had this one site, my hunting buddy loved to go to this site but I got skunked there like 5 times in a row. I dreaded when he said he wanted to go there. I convinced myself the site was worthless.

Then one day I found a couple old coins, my attitude changed and good lord then large cents and Barber and Merc dimes, Indian Head cents started popping out of the ground all over the place. Followed by seated and half dimes and 3 cent silvers. My 1864-L repunched date IH came from there. Humiliating lol

Don't make me put the clad dime at 10 inch jinx on you.
Make sure it's a 1965 just for good measure. Very few things in this world are worse than getting sixty-fived.

I wouldn't mind getting '65'd all day long..........as long as they're Kennedys! :laughing7:

You realize you just jinxed Kennedy's right. :laughing7: My nemesis jinxed coin...seated quarter. I have dug all manner of far older and more rare coins, busts, 1700's, seated dimes and half dimes, but can I dig even 1 seated quarter hell no. :cussing:

Still on my list too. If a SLQ gets me going a Seated Quarter gonna have me soaring to the moon. I’ve had so many highs and a boat load of lows, but I have to get that Seated Quarter

Mine was really worn and scratched but silver always looks good in the dirt with the sun glinting off of it.
