Went today with my son to a local spot where recently there was a concert. I was hoping for some surface finds but looks like someone already beat me to it. My son was bored so we walked to the woods where he could climb some rocks. I have hit this spot hard over the years and have made some great finds but lately ive been feeling its tapped out. Just as I was about to throw the towel in, I walked up to my son and had a great hit. Popped the plug and couldn't believe a 1927 slq was staring at me . She's slick but I'm glad it has a date. I'm sure I've swung around that target 100 times but today was the day.

The nicest coin ever made, IMHO- I always look forward to seeing them posted. Don't see many found with dates- Congrats on a great find!

Thanks everybody for all the likes. This is my third SLQ but the first with a date. I agree, it is one of the best looking coins from the good ole days and a nice surprise to see staring at you instead of a GW.
