My first standing liberty I almost didn't dig.
I had just stepped out of my car at a group of old home sites in the woods. I turned on my detector and lowered it to the ground to "ground balance" and it started going off with the ID jumping all over the screen. Tried again with the same results. Almost decided to move the coil and try again but decided instead to cut a plug. Just two inches down was a 1918-S quarter in good 4 condition. Date is too worn to determine if it's the rare 18/17 overdate.

Congrats on your first SLQ! The best looking coin ever minted, IMHO. Any chance of getting a close up? Hope you find many more!
