Epic 5 Early Washington Quarter day...in a Park!

[Scrappy]

Epic can have a lot of meanings. Age, quantity, location, etc. I consider this hunt epic since it was in a public park in a heavily populated area. There are a lot of detectorists in the area...

This park, well, is hidden. I didn't even know it was there until a friends retirement party.

The area of the finds was rather large, about 100'x50' and perhaps would represent the edge of a sports field. The first was the '43 Merc. I was stoked since I'd never been to this park before. Next came a '34 Washington at 4", and I'm like huh...ok. Then a '36. Nice! '62 really?! '35 are you kidding me?!?! And finally a '48. I only hunted about an hour then had to go home to the fam and company, but I'm hoping there are a couple more great finds to be had. Not bad for a public park!

I was drunk on silver today. I've never found 5 quarters in a hunt. Early Washingtons are difficult to come by and 3 is stellar.

Happy hunting

Steve

Wow don't think I've ever seen anyone post 5 silver quarters from the same hunt! I found 2 Seated dimes today (a first for me!) and thought I was going good.

Um. Tell u what. I'll trade the two seated for my 5 Washingtons.

Wow, all you wanted was some fresh air. Lol maybe I need to change my attitude when I go out.
I couldn't imagine finding 5 quarters on one hunt, Sweet!!

Yep. Funny how that works. You dedicate a whole day and dont find squat, you stop by a spot for an hour and find 6 silver coins. Lol

When I went to my pals retirement party I could not understand how this hidden park existed. All I could think about was hunting it at the party. I scouted the entire place before I left the party

Epic in my book as well! Congrats!

 

[VaMike]

I'd be pretty stoked about that $1.35 find! Awesome!

Way to go Scrappy!! Nice silver haul! Congrats !!

 

[Trezurehunter]

Great silver day. Congrats.

Five silver quarters is unheard of these days - That's the kind of thing we read about happening back in the early 70's when there
were still virgin properties all over the place . This is epic Amigo .

 

[CoinandRelicMan]

Really just doesn't happen anymore hardly ever, you are lucky to eke out 3 clads quarter dollars in the park here on a hunt now

Epic in my book as well! Congrats!

thx guys. All that big silver was very surprising. I couldn't imagine this happening ever again in a public park.

gee thanks Brad. I'm blushing and my wife laughed at me when I read her your comment. I can't dig today...we're having an international hotdog party today where we make hotdogs in different style cuisines. Hot dogs vs silver is a close one! Lol

I certainly am. I'm real curious if there are more silvers out of that area I hunted

Dang I'm still looking for my first sliver quarter

oh, you'll find one. Undisturbed ground is key. Look for the "old dirt" where people would have hung out. Pound away!

There's no way that was all, I bet you'll find at least 15-20 more in there, it was never hit, or if so it was by a hunter who was blind......and deaf

I went by, on my way to the beer store for the party, and stopped for a 20 minute look. Got another quarter and dime. Most of the rest of the park has been disturbed so I'm not sure how many are left. Both were 1956
