Fathers Day silver from Old Faithful

[incajoe]

Please excuse my tardiness but I'm just getting around to posting my fathers day finds. Since it was my day to do whatever I wanted, I was able to sneak in a couple hours of metal detecting and decided I would even bring the family along since it was a family holiday. I went to my Old Faithful spot where I got the gold ring last week and hit the same approximate area (this place is HUGE). I was able to pull out a really worn standing Liberty quarter. Seems like these are always worn, no? I got a silver earring, 8 wheats including 2 1911's (plural, not the mintmark :P). Found a neat cross which I guess is brass and a small padlock. The gold guilt button was a surprise because I pulled it out at a depth of.................are you ready for this?.....................11 inches!!! My knife that I use to cut plugs has a ruler on the back edge so I measured it because it felt like I was halfway to China by the time it came out.

So it was a great ending to a great fathers day. How could it not be with my little girl helping me cover my holes?

Family togetherness is what life is all about and when you have something special like a son or daughter to share it with makes it even more special.

Anyway, nice find.... Your daughter is your good luck charm, I bet $1000.00. You would not have found those finds without her. Awesome finds,

Keep @ It and HH!!

Nice cross and clad. It does seem like everytime I see one of those quarters they look the same... worn

Yup, it still surprises me every now and then that it can go SOOOO deep for a cheap machine. That button is the same exact size as a modern penny, it's back is made of iron or steel (see how it rusted) and I heard it at 11 inches with the discrimination on! There are some high priced detectors that would have trouble doing that.

Nice finds, Incajoe. Love the SLQ. Daughter is a keeper, too!

(Glad to know I'm not the only one who hunts with kids in tow.)

Keep digging!

my problem was i just never dug that deep......i though it was BS'ing me.......i still have a habit of only digging signals that are strong......and shallow.....i need to get a digger that will do a bit of deeper clearing of soil.l..

Nice shot of you & your helper.
