Private Yard Gives me my Best Silver Coin Day Ever!!!

[tommyboy72]

Hi, I stopped at a yard sale Yesterday morning and the homeowner said she was moving. I started asking about her house and she told me it was a sears catalog home built around 1903! She also told me it was originally the parsonage(preachers house) for the church that used to be next door(it's was torn down a long time ago) anyway she gave me permission to hunt the yard after the yard sale was over. I showed up at 4:00 and got started right away. I started with my 6in. excellerator coil and wasn't finding much, I think somethings wrong with it. I was getting a lot of chatter and falsing! I swapped it out for my 10x12 SEF coil and that's when things started hitting!! I had told one of my hunting buddies that morning that I would love to find a standing liberty quarter because I had never found one. He was with hunting another part of the yard when I got this really good silver signal and I called him over when I found the clump of dirt with a silver rim poking out.
I opened the clump in front of him an we both about crapped when I saw the back of a standing liberty quarter!! He mentioned what I said that morning about wanting to find one, and without missing a beat, I looked at him and said " I really would love to find a $20.00 gold piece" we both started laughing and I had him get my camera from the truck about 15 feet away so i could finally get a picture of a coin still in the clump! anyway, to make a long story short. I found a total of 6 silvers!! three quarters, and three dimes. the breakdown is as follows: dateless type two standing liberty quarter, two washingtons, 1941 plain and 1941s. two mercs, a 1918s and a 1944d, and a single rosie 1954 plain. forget to take photos of them after cleaning them up so here are what pics I have. thanks.

Private yards are the best places to find silver these days with all the hunters hitting the school yards, parks and tot lots. Nice find.

Hi, can anybody tell me how to re-size my pics?

go into your photo program an click resize an put 500 or 700 into the top part the bottom should adjust automaticly with the top portion... then you'll have to click save or it might ask if you want to change what photo size you already have ...click YES....

Congrats on the SLQ. Hope the $20 gold pops out next.

Can't tell the date from your pics: has to be after 1917 since it's a Type 2 (has 3 stars under the eagle reverse).
