1924D SLQ found with borrowed detector

[tmanfromtexas]

Afternoon y'all. Got out today with Greg and Dave (both Tnetters) here in Northwest Indiana. Greg got a new etrac and he let me try it out at an old park here in the area. It was set up with 4 tones and with a few pointers from both Dave and Greg I went hunting. I had dug a wheatie and a few clad coins when I get a high tone with 12/46 on the screen near a tree. It was bouncy and at about 6 inches. Greg came over and said I had a quarter. I dug slowly as I didnt know what the heck it would be and at about 6 inches standing on end was a reeded edge. I slowly pulled it out and there she was, a 1924D SLQ. I was one happy camper. I havent found a SLQ or a barber so that just made my week, and with a borrowed detector at that. I let Greg carry it for a while since it was his detector but took it back when it was time to leave. LOL. He keeps calling me a pirate and I dont understand why. Thanks for reading. TMAN...

Beautiful SLQ Tman!!!

Thats one of the BEST I've seen in "dug" condition. I have 7 with only 3 that have dates, but NONE as fine as yours!!! They are gorgeous coins, with all that beautiful inside edge detail....

Nice job!

Now those are some nice pics. I would have no problem shelling out $100 for that quarter. Again, awesome find.

Like she was lost the day after she was minted!!!

I showed it to a few guys here at work and they had never seen an SLQ so it was cool to show them what kinda stuff that is out there. I still havent cleaned it. That is the way it came out of the ground. I am sure a little warm water and a tooth pick in the grooves would make a difference but I am not sure I will do anything to it. Maybe sell it.... lol. TMAN...
