I was on the phone with Ahab8 ready to get out of the truck and hunt..
He told me what till its 1108 then get out.
You be lucky.Lol
Now i believe you make ur own luck but what the hell. I did it anyway..
Only hunted for about 1hour..Evertime i dug a plug it fiiled back up with water..
Arrrrr..What a muddy mess..
This is a new spot..I believe it has some potential..
Only dug a musket ball and this quarter..
But i think im going to like it..
HH..and good luck..

At least you made it home with yours. Guess I should have called Abe before the hunt when I found mine lol. Probably a good thing you didn't call me with my luck. I took my vehicle in for a state inspection and it cost me $500, then on the way home from picking it up just now, some lady rear ended me! Everyone was fine and I had no damage I could see, but hers is gonna cost her a bit to fix, lol. Guess it depends on how you look at it since mine had no damage, huh?

Vino , You might want to change the title of your post to include something like "beautiful SLQ found today" or some variation
of that , because I think members here are going to want to see that . Kinda rare that you get a date and the beaded ornament
on the obverse (what is the date on that ? couldn't quite make it out ) Nice Find !

WTG with that quarter find, that's a beauty.

Abe, next time tell him about the super dooper lucky trick of stripping to his Underoos, spinning counterclockwise 8 times, moonwalking 8 steps and then shouting " Praise Be to Pee Wee Herman " 8 times!
