Hello All. Hunted two home sites near Sanford and Clermont, FL for these digs. One site was a 1950's home and the other a 1925 home.

Got a pretty good assortment of stuff including my 3rd SLQ...all of them have been too worn to see the date, AARRGH, but I'll take 'em. Still got some more diggin' to do at both locations. I Hope there is more silver.

Good luck and thanks for the view. C9

That looks to be a "type I" SLQ which is a 1916 or 17. Nice but really worn. I will feel fulfilled this year if I can find one in any condition.

It's a shame the SLQ's don't fare well over time. They were a nice looking coin. Good finds!

Congratz on the SLQ! It's my 2nd favorite coin. I don't, however, think that it's a type I. You can see the collar.

Looks like you pulled many unusual items. :icon_thumright: I would like to find my 1st SLQ (any condition). I really like that "Hi Stranger" token.
