A couple of silvers and a target I have to go back for

[dirtyJohn]

Hi all. I went out to a favorite spot of mine for a couple of hours just coinshooting and got a good low 80's vdi and dug down about 6 inches and popped up a 1952 D Rosie then about 20 feet away got another good 80's VDI about 8 inches and got this 1923 Merc. I got a beautiful high 80's low 90's repeatable silver quarter signal deep underneath this massive set of roots. Sometimes you just know what the signal is and this was definately a silver quarter, probably an SLQ judging by the date of most finds in this area. I couldn't get around the roots to get at the signal, the deeper I dug around them, the wider the roots got and since this was a park, I didn't want to make a mess by digging a trench but I can't let this target go without taking another shot at it, so like MacArthur said "I shall return". Thanks for reading.

Nice looking silver, hope the target under the roots turns out to be a SLQ.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, I lived up to my handle. I will go back for that signal but it will have to wait till I've cleared out the easy stuff first. I don't want to dig a big hole there and attract attention to myself. My buddy Mark took the pics. He's a photographer and has an excellent camera not a point and shoot camera like I have.
