Prior to today I hadn't dug a silver since 9/2, hadn't dug multiple silvers in a day since 6/17, and hadn't dug a silver quarter since 6/4. I've been trying to branch out to different spots but was having no luck. Found myself back at my favorite park, which hadn't coughed up anything notable in several trips. I tried a really trashy area today...each of these finds had several nails in the hole.

The first was the 1946 quarter. It was a crap signal...high on the ferrous reading and low on the conductive (prolly like 20-40 or so). It was kind of cruddy so I didn't realize at first it was silver

A few minutes later I got a similar signal. After pulling the plug i saw the flash of silver. I picked up what I expected to be another washington but after one wipe I saw:

A little while later I pulled the third silver of the day, a 1911 barber dime:

Nice Chris! I'm glad you pulled a few keepers. That SLQ is a type-2 raised date. So it's dates 1917-1923.

Cheers
