Fathers Day silver from Old Faithful

[incajoe]

Please excuse my tardiness but I'm just getting around to posting my fathers day finds. Since it was my day to do whatever I wanted, I was able to sneak in a couple hours of metal detecting and decided I would even bring the family along since it was a family holiday. I went to my Old Faithful spot where I got the gold ring last week and hit the same approximate area (this place is HUGE). I was able to pull out a really worn standing Liberty quarter. Seems like these are always worn, no? I got a silver earring, 8 wheats including 2 1911's (plural, not the mintmark :P). Found a neat cross which I guess is brass and a small padlock. The gold guilt button was a surprise because I pulled it out at a depth of.................are you ready for this?.....................11 inches!!! My knife that I use to cut plugs has a ruler on the back edge so I measured it because it felt like I was halfway to China by the time it came out.

So it was a great ending to a great fathers day. How could it not be with my little girl helping me cover my holes?

very nice job ont he standing liberty quarter! Metal detecting is sure a great family activity! You should get your whole family detectors!

I'm already planning on it. Just as soon as my daughter gets a couple years older. My wife has an interest but she doesn't really have the time while caring for my daughter at the moment. It will certainly be fun when the whole family can go out detecting though!

This is a pic of my daughters detector.
