I headed Out to Old Faithful Yesterday and Met up with my Hunting Buddy
Anonymous Turker. We hit The Park For about 2 Hours
We Wandered a bit and I Settled Near a Ground Level Stone Wall That Channels
The Brook.

After a Few Holes I Got a Solid Repeating 38-39 at about 7 Inches Directly Against The Wall

I Dig Down to Find a 1952 Rosie.

Within 2 Feet I have Another Signal

10-11 Inches My Safari Was Screaming 39! 39!
I dug Down

And Had no clue what i was looking at!

Turns out its an 1883 Hawaiian Quarter Dollar
With King Kalakaua I on the Front
700,000 Struck In California

Are there any Hawaii Members Who Have Dug One of These?

Imagine If this coin could talk!
How Did it get to Massachusetts?
It was with alot of 1940s Silvers..Some ill be Posting Later From Today
Maybe a WWII Connection? Who Knows!

I went on to get another 39 Signal For this 1949-D Washington
All of these Silvers Were Within the same 20 Square Feet

Cool find. The whaling fleet from Massachusetts made regular stops at the Hawaiian Islands. It was probably brought back by a sailor.
