ctx3030 dug my first standing liberty quarter

[dirtfishingdave]

Hello everyone,

I was out yesterday with my new ctx3030, and I dug my first standing liberty quarter at a depth of only 2 inches. I think its a 1917s type 2, any thoughts on this since there isn't a date on it? Thanks for your help.

Can't help ya on the date but it sure is a nice find dirtfishingdave.

Definitely a type 2 but what makes you think it's a 17S?

 

[dirtfishingdave]

You can see the s mint mark on left corner of where date would be, I thought I read online somewhere that if it has pedestal around where date was that it was a 17 maybe I am wrong. Any help on date or am I correct on 17?

Hello everyone again,

I dug 2 more firsts yesterday, a 1920 buffalo nickel and my first shield nickel all within 20 feet of each other. They were iffy nickel signals on my minelab ctx 3030. They rang up a 10-11, and they were shallow only 3 or 4 inches deep, man I love this machine, it's a killer on nickels!!!

Nice! Wish I could find good stuff that shallow lol

The date was recessed into the pedestal in 1925 for wear reasons. Yours is worn enough to where it might hard to tell if it's pre-'25 or post '25 without closer examination with a good loupe.

First ones have no stars under the Eagle, HH Boris grandpa gave these to buy candy!

Looked at slq under a microscope and a good loupe 7x magnification, its worn pretty badly, I would say its probably post 25. Hopefully next time I find one of these in the ground it will be in better shape!
