Just got home from a four hour hunt this morning. First coin of the day...Silver Washington...date unknown...I usually wrap my silver coins up and wait til I get home to rinse them off. Hit two wheaties and a 1895 Indian. I was getting tired so I packed it up and went home. At the house, I rinsed the dirt off the Quarter and I was looking at a 1932. My first thought was, please have a mint mark, please have a mint mark. Flipped it over and there was the "D" staring at me. Sweet, I thought, a Key date. The coin was 5-6 inches deep, found at a local park, using my new ETrac. Still getting use to the new detector, this was my fourth time out with it. She will fill a nice hole in my coin book, I believe only 436 thousand were minted

That is a really nice 1932D washington quarter! You don't see too many of them looking like that anymore. Most of them are faded.
