Double silver day Standing Liberty

[GatorBoy]

8hrs worth of targets.
Got the S.L. in hour 6.

Two silver quarters were 1942 and 1924






















It was odd how one side was black and one side was clean.
Also found several lead seals and a giant hunk of lead under some tree roots







I thought for sure that was going to be jars filled with coins

 

[unfound]

Looks like a great day right there !!! What is the "item" you thought was jars filled with coins?

 

[GatorBoy]

It's solid lead? It reads ANCO LEAD CO. that's all I know right now.

Freakin hard labor. That lead item looks interesting. Would love to find a standing liberty. I know I can go buy one but whats the fun in that. Finding your own makes it more rewarding.

sponge using smoke signals.

 

[GatorBoy]

Yeah.. Not worth much to me if bought.
No mint mark on this one..so about 16$

Very nice SLQ... great condition. Congrats.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Congrats on your silver!

That's a lot of digging! I don't know if I could stand that kind of excitement digging up what "could" be containers of coins only to find plugs of lead! It's hard enough when the "ring" turns into a pop top! Lol!
One of these days it will be jars of coins! GL. HH!

 

[I-DIG-IT]

Nice digs.

 

[GatorBoy]

[park pirate]

[GatorBoy]

Thanks..the other side is in very good shape also just stained

 

[NVNutcase]

That's a full day. Not what you'd call a "Quick" hunt. Good workout for the knees!

 

[GatorBoy]

The cell phone camera doesn't do it justice






Feel like I did 500 squats oh wait a minute I did

 

[treblehunter]

[46Wheat]

Nice digs and thanks for those pictures

 

[GatorBoy]

Thank you

 

[Hendo0601]

Awesome finds!!!! That giant piece of lead has to weigh a freakin ton! No wonder you are worn out if you were schlepping that thing all over the place!

 

[antique man]

Sweet silver!

 

[GatorBoy]

Haha..thanks guys... That lead weighs about 30lbs.
It stayed under the tree til I left
