1919 Canadian quarter

[diggyboy]

Hit an old hunting lodge today with my brother and we didn't expect too much because of the bad signals we always got when going there ( you literally couldn't walk without getting junk hits) but we managed to still find some cool coins. First we hit the 1944 wheat penny that was shot, we think someone used it for target practice in the 1950's. After finding that, we were pretty happy and didn't expect to find anything else. Boy were we wrong! About half an hour after the whet penny, we got a solid 87 signal at the AT pro at 6 inches deep. Expecting it to just be a clad quarter that was deep, I dug down and located it with my pro pointer. I couldn't believe my eyes, it was a 1919 Canadian quarter in great condition! We will be hitting that spot again for sure! Thanks for looking and check out our youtube video for live action of the hunt in the field. HH!

Good find, A little hard to tell from small pic. but looks like you got XF on condition. It may be a "common" date in the books, but not so easy to come across in the dirt, no matter where you live, and if you don't mind could you at least say which state ?

The made in England thing sure looks like a roller chain link plate, although I think you said aluminum, which would be strange...maybe it is something different.

I agree with Rick. That looks like it's in stunning condition! Congrats, bud!

Yea, me too, we also look for old houses that ate boarded up stuff like that, maybe we will cross pats one day, keep in touch.
