I Worked Hard Today

[tabman]

On my way to a site that I was going to detect I came across an estate sale, so I decided to take a look. They didn't have anything that I wanted except for some extension ladder guard bumpers that I got for a dollar.

Before I left I asked permission to detect the yard and got a yes. I thought for sure that I'd score some silver on this mid-fifties home site, but it didn't happen. As I was loading up I saw a guy out in his yard across the street, so I went over there to see if I could get permission to detect his yard. He was nice and said have it. Again I came up empty.

I decided to go back to the last site that I detected where I found those 3 silver dimes and all those wheat pennies to see what else I could unearth. I finally cornered a 1954 silver quarter and few more wheat pennies before giving up on that site.

As I was heading home I stopped at another site that I've detected before to give it another going over. After a lot of swinging I got a nice sweet high tone and the VDI numbers were floating upward to the mid-fifties. I wasn't sure if it was a silver dime or a quarter, but whatever it was it was under a big root. I had to dig down beside the root to get to the coin. It turned out to be a slick Standing Liberty. I don't know how I ever missed that one when I first hunted the yard, but I sure did.

Nice job tabman! Love how you show all the junk you dig up too on the bucket lid each hunt. Shows how much work goes with it. That SLQ is awesome and one on my list for sure.

Ill say finding an SLQ is way better than being given one!
Your bucket lid looks like a Frisbee Golf Disc lol

Thanks! I used to dig a lot more, but I've slowed down in past few years.

Thanks! I did get a no today! Not really, he just wouldn't say yes, so I didn't press him. Believe it or not, must people say yes you go about asking in the right way.

Thanks, me too! I seemed to be attracted to Rosie dimes though. LOL

Thanks! I love finding quarters a lot more than I do dimes.

Two Silver Quarters is a great day. You may have had to bounce around a little but it was so worth it.
Congratulations
