Finally!!!....after 5 years.

[BigWaveDave]

And what a beauty she is, my first SLQ with a date!

It’s been over a month since I’ve gotten out, really dry turf, along with peak season of other things to do, golf game still sucks though.

This permission I had hunted hard a few times before, but the Max told me there were a few things I missed.
The quarter rang up as a jumpy 78, and wasn’t too deep, maybe 5 inches... awesome.

Also, was happy to find a 1907 V nickel, practically on the surface, strange.
The Bell thing I thought was a dog tag, but it’s an advertising piece from 1910 for “Dr. Bells Pine Tar Honey”
The phrase “Cures for Coughs” along the bottom is about all that’s legible.

A WW1 cufflink, a few wheats, and a key were also rescued from the yard.


Thanks for looking!

Big congrats BWD! That's one sharp looking SLQ. Based upon your other photo, it looks like you had a very satisfying hunt!

Good job digging that jumpy 78 signal, those questionable targets can always be a great surprise.

Hello BWD. Dang that was one hell'uva hunt...SLQ, Merc, WC's, V Nick, nice buttons, and quirky tag...NICE!!! Ya gonna go back right?

I have a few SLQ's but not one is close to yours in condition...most are dateless.
