My son and I spent the morning scouting new places to hunt. Got a few good leads and possible permission but after 3 hours we hadn't swung the detector once. He had somewhere to go and I had some errands to do so I headed home. I had the bug so I decided to take my detector out in my own yard. I've never found anything good or old here. The house was built in 1962 so most of the stuff in the ground is pretty new. After the usual clad, junk and toys I was glad to find a "Amtrak" button. Pretty modern but different. I decided to go where they had dug up the ground to put in a storm drain a few years back and had refilled in the area. I got a quarter signal at 5". I always dig quarters so I dug a big plug, flipped it over and saw what looked like a silver coin on edge in the bottom. My heart skipped a beat and skipped again when I saw it was a Standing Liberty quarter. This is the first SLQ I've ever found and I found it in my own backyard, where I thought I'd never find an old coin.
