Finally crossed an SLQ off of my bucket list today

Pictures first:

It’s been a while since I’ve dug anything T-Net worthy. Just got married last week after my wife(!!) and I had to move back in with her parents for a while. We’re in an area that was once settled by the Swedes in the 1650s before even William Penn and the English first arrived.

Got a Merc the other day in a wooded area near a creek. My oldest yet, 1920 P, along with 2 Wheats a 1917 and uncertain of the other.

Went back today near that spot looking for holly trees and nonnative plants, up rings a super sharp 31-32.

1917 P Type 1, my first SLQ and what a beauty!

Enjoy!

Returned to the new spot, third trip yielded more silver and broke into some earlier dates.

Sold on running 5mhz, I also realized my threshold has been at -9 for a while and put that at 0, Park 1.

1899 Barber Dime
1889 IHP

A few wheats as early as 1910 but in poorer condition.

Also a nice butterfly pin.
