1st Dig of the Year = SLQ!

Bomgoat · Mar 22, 2010

The weather around my neck of the woods has finally started to warm up a bit, but there is plenty of snow that still needs to melt. I finally decided to leave work a little early today and venture out to do some detecting for the first time this year. The weather today wasn't the greatest, a little drizzly and only about 38 degrees so I decided I wasn't going to be out long. I made my way back out to an old church that I had detected some last year but had no luck... I had just gotten out of my car and started swinging the ol' ACE 250 when I got a really good 25 cent signal. I figured for sure it would be a clad quarter as the ACE is pretty spot on with the quarter signal. Well I cut the plug and dug it out and wouldn't you know it, there sits a 1917 SLQ in the bottom of the plug

..my very first SLQ!! I was pretty excited so I decided to call it quits till the weather warms up a little bit. So my first dig of the season was a SLQ that took me all of 5 minutes to find, I wish all detecting adventures were this easy!

even as worn as it is the 1917 SLQ is still pretty valueable

Thanks for the kind comments and a special thanks to Hill Billy for making my horrible pictures smaller, I really need to figure out how to do that. Anyways to answer your question Imnengr it was about 6" down.
