A fabulous Stander and other nice things.

I got out over the weekend and found some great things. I hunted a flat area at the bottom of a grassy hill along a sidewalk next to a road. Don't want to give away too much information about this spot.

First I found a nice Barber dime only four inches deep. Then moving along by the sidewalk I got another four inch signal, which turned out to be a pocket spill from around 1919, One beautiful Standing Liberty Quarter and a nice mercury dime, both dated 1919. There were also three wheat pennies dated 1917,1918 and 1919. The silver coins had some green stuff on them from being next to each other in the ground over 90 years or so. But I soaked them in lemon juice for 5 minutes and the green residue came right off.

Next I found a neat silver pendant apparently given to someone named Demer by someone named Lolly with a motto "Think Win, always enjoy." It's dated 17/03/92. Not known whether it's 1892 or 1992.

I'll see if I remember how to post pictures. Here's the Barber Dime:



The beutiful Stander:



Sorry, my mistake. But here's the reverse:

Here's the Merc:


Now the pendant:

Hoe you enjoy. Sorry for the triple pics.

I'd be inclined to get that thing encapsulated. Even though you'll get a "environmantal damage" or "Improperly cleaned". It's definitely sharper than a lot of EF-40's I've seen. Probably a $200 coin.

There is something so special about the SLQ when you see it in that really high grade condition- maybe it's just that we so rarely get to
see them like that .
