AU 1925 SLQ. 1/2 Dozen IH's Plus A Lot More To See. (Updated) Token Closeup

Hey everyone,

Been hitting it hard again. Love this time of the yr. All the spots are died down and it makes getting to those tough areas alot easier. I'm a woods hunter. I hardly ever do lawns. Hunting has been decent the last few weeks or so.

Managed to find a few nice keepers while out. Including a very nice 1925 SLQ. It's funny I went to take a break with my boy. Decided to stop for a minute and share a pop tart with my son. After eating and getting a drink 2 or 3 minutes tops. I turn the unit back on take one step and get a solid 85.

I pinpointed the target it was shallow but not overloading. I stuck the shovel in the ground and before I could pry up the soil I see a disc at the surface just covered in mud. I bend down and pick it up. I said to my son Jake look at this nice SLQ. I could tell by how thick the rim was that it was a good one.

I ended up pulling 9 old coins that morning after about 3 hrs hunting if that. I had 4 indians a token a merc a slq a v nickle and a couple wheats. I was more than happy with the take. That was the best day hunting by far over the last so many trips.

Other than that been hitting a few old coins here and there. Testing some new areas coming up a little short. But that's o.k. That next best site is just a sweep away. I'll give you all a break down of the finds.

6 Indian Heads- 1905 X 3 1901 1903 1883

2 Mercs- 1923 1929

1 1944- Washington

2 V-nickles- 1906 1903

1 Buffalo- 1916

9 Wheat Cents

2 Tokens- 1 Presidential James Monroe Token 1 old market Token A.S.L 72 C.P

Also a piece of sterling that was attached to something. And a nice sterling tie clasp with a dragon type design on it.

A few nice relics were found also. A two ringer .44 cal civil war revolver bullet. Another non fired bullet with a date on the bottom of the shell casing dated 1945 could it be a WW2 bullet. Plus some other odds and ends.

Thanks alot for looking everyone,

HH Jer

Thanks alot everyone,

No, I live in P.a. The coins get eaten up pretty bad here to. I just have gotten really good at cleaning them. I can't tell you how many hrs it took to get everything you see cleaned. Probably as much time as I spent finding them.

Once again thanks to everyone who looked at my finds. Hope you all liked the pics.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! That SLQ is amazing. :o :thumbsup: Just gorgeous. I like all of you finds though. Just once I'd like to walk away from a spot with a bunch of old coins like that. Simply fantastic.
Congrats to you,

Thanks alot guys,

Yes, I agree the quarter was probably lost in 26. It didn't see to much action. I love to find these coins. They are really nice design. I find more barber quarters than SLQ though.

Usually anymore I just pick up maybe 3 or 4 old coins per hunt. The one day I picked up 9. That was a decent day. I used to have alot more days like that. Getting hard to find alot of old coins in a abundance anymore. But I keep looking.

Thanks again everyone,

HH Jer
