1 more out of Circulation!

[Lc_102]

I was about to go get in the car to go MD'ing at an old local park, when I decided to grab a couple bucks incase I got thirsty or something. we had a pile of change setting on top of the microwave, and because I couldnt find any bills laying around, I decided to grap some quarters. I started picking out the quarters 1 at a time putting them from one hand to the other, listening to them clank. When I grabed one that said something ONLY us Crazy treasure hunters hear, It yelled SILVER when it hit the other quarters. I thought, no way, people buy rolls and rolls just looking for silver and never find any. I picked it up, looked at the side before the date and sure enough, it was a 1964 Washington quarter still in circulation!

I couldnt believe it, a great find before I even got out the door to go Md'ing! Which is good because Ive had a silver drought over the last month. I knew something was up as I watched the quarter leave my hand to fall into the other before I heard the clank. Just the color, we treasue hunters are a special breed when we can tell something's up just by the slight color diferation between a clad quarter and a silver quarter.

Hey LC.....I think you should contact your local paper also, once you find a relative...or even before and the paper can help you locate a relative.

From what I found, William B. Hanger had quite a collection of papers of his time in the military service with photos. And from what I gather from the short article...sounds like he made the Marine Corps a career. That would be a great HUMAN INTEREST Story... (Pls read reply #20...that is what I found on William B. Hanger)

And as someone said.....make a new thread and repost photo....

WTG LC....you really did good!!! You found a piece of military history of someone who, in my opinion, recorded events as they happened during battle and time spent in the service. I think that is SO AWESOME!!!!

Isn't this hobby the best

Keep us posted....I am so excited to hear the outcome........HH............Ann
