All Treasure Hunting
It was overcast today but the weather report didn't call for rain till noon. I wanted to revisit a spot that has provided me with 2 large cents, V nickels, miscellaneous 20th century silver and some interesting artifacts.
Last spring, having a surplus of time to detect due to the virus, I crisscrossed this spot on a dozen visits. I figured that I'd hit the high spots and that there wasn't much left. I made a couple of trips where I only dug the obvious as well as highly ambiguous signals.
The visit today started with a Wheatie that rang on my Equinox like a quarter. It was a full 8" down and very crusty. The next 90 minutes produced a little clad, can slaw and bottle caps.
It started to drizzle and I began working my way back to the car. I hit a couple of memorials and said "One more signal, then quit".
I got a strong deep 20's and figured maybe an Indian head, maybe another Large Cent, maybe???.
Pinpointed, popped the plug, nothing in the plug or hole. Dug a little deeper before my carrot beeped. Pulled out a clod and saw the beautiful, thick silver edge of a quarter.
Spraying it off revealed the best Standing Liberty I've found. It's also my first silver coin since July 1st.
This is such a great hobby!

Very Nice!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!! Those don't show up often!!
 
good detail in that coin, love the SLQ, that's how I dug my first SLQ, took about 4 years into detecting, dug everything else, now I got a bunch, dig a lot of them at the beach, about one per year, great find:thumbsup:
 
Excellent 27 SLQ, grats and thanks for taking us along.

Wow ...You should be proud of that one. Beauty. Congrats!
 
Nice ! Anytime you see that beaded rim on the obverse , you know you got a high grade SLQ.
 
fresh out of the roll, looks great
 
That's a beautiful standing lib with a nice crisp date. Don't see that very often
 
That is one great looking full date Standing Liberty. They don't come out of the ground like that very often.
 
Best looking SLQ that I have seen posted. Congrats!
 
I would have been saying.....please be an S, please be an S. But even without, it is quite a nice coin. One of my favs.
 
Fantastic find! Good hunt.
