3rd silver coin of 2009!!!! Turns out to be first Washington Quarter! + VIDEO!

[Detectingfreak]

Hey guys! Well, This time we went detecting at vasa park. I decided that since we did not have permission to go in until noon, then i would go to veterans memorial field in issaquah. I decided to hit the same area's of the field over again and found a decent amount of clad. I also found a 1970's Elizabeth Arben (that was made in New York) Makeup holder. Nate's wife txted me saying they would arrive at 11:30am. After detecting for 2 and a half hours I ended at 10:30am and waited for them for an hour at AM/PM. I was fine with it because i was trying to figure out what the Make up holder was.

When we got to Vasa Park, we had no idea what we would find. This time Nate brought his friend, James. James was a nice addition to the team. We hunted the park and for the first 20-30 minutes all I got was clad. I then Hit a quarter signal and opened up the hole. I saw a silver rim, but I thought it would be a ring because that was what I was shooting for. It turned out to be my first 1948 Silver Washington Quarter!!! I was shocked! I had to take a video, so that I can show you guys. After 10-15 minutes of gridding the spot, I got a really weird pulltab signal. I thought it was a gold ring, but instead it turned out to be a 1935 Washington State Tax token. My last keeper target turned out to be a 1951 or 1956 wheatie. I was also amazed at that too!

I hope everyone had a great day detecting! I know we sure did! Nates in the water and I am on the land. I am the one with the SE and I am standing smiling.

Nice finds. Sounds like you guys had a good time. No snow to speak of over here on the east side of the hill, but the ground is frozen solid.....so we sit & wait.

Hey, DF, congrats on your first silver Quarter!!

That's another coin you can check off your wishlist. That park looks great from your videos. There's bound to be more oldies there.

Good luck!
