Awesome day,Awesome yard!!!!!!!!! new pics!!!

[maceman66]

I got asked to locate lot pins for a guy i know and instead of paying me i told him i would rather just detect his yard as payment and man what a yard it turned out to be!!! My very first target was this beautiful 1917 type 1 Standing Liberty in wonderful shape!! My next target was a 1910 V nickle, then a 1911 wheat penny and then a 1917 merc, my first 4 targets were all coins and the newest one was 1917, i knew it was gonna be a great place!!! I ended up with 2 Slq's(1917,no date) 2 Barber dimes (1905s,1910), 4 Mercs(1917d,1942,1943,1944) a V nickle(1910), a no date Buff, 2 indians (1904,1906) and 21 wheat pennies!! I also found a cool pocket watch, a thimble, a flag pin, a gold plated ladies pin, a boy scout pin,a silver colored pin, a military button with some gold left on it. 2 coal tags and about 2 dollars in new change and most of this was found between the street and the sidewalk!!!!

Congratulations on those fantastic finds. Were they deep or at grassroot level?


That quarter was lost pretty soon after it was minted. There looks like there's very, very little wear on it and SLQ's wore down fast. From the looks of the fine detail still showing on the shield, it should grade at AU (almost uncirculated).

As far as your macro's being blurry; do you use a tripod? When taking macros, the slightest movement results in blurred pics.

To Diver_Down, only certified land surveyors can set lot pins. They have to meet the recorded measurements for the land.

Nice Silver ! You don't see them oldies lokking that good most of the time. I agree with Greg23 , Looks like a General Service Button. Can you read the backmark

I realize that. I was just making a joke to do whatever it takes to get back to that yard. Some need to turn on their sarcasm meters.

A fantastic day! And now for my standard question: on the "other" SLQ, is it Type I or II? If Type I, we might still be able to narrow it down between 16 and 17. Now I'm rushing over to see Part 2!

 

[maceman66]

the other SLQ is a type 2 it has the stars on the reverse

Good hunt!
