I've been whining about not being able to find a silver quarter anywhere in my short detecting career, I've tried parks, homesteads, farms, yards.... I feel lucky in my finds, as I've found civil war items, capped bust dime, etc. But I couldn't pull a 1964 or earlier quarter anywhere.
I've been hitting a new farm with my 6" coil, not tons of signals around, I suspect it's been hit hard in the past. However the grass is thick and tall and the items seem deeper than normal in the black dirt, so I broke out the stock coil to see if I've been missing deep targets. Didnt find much until I got a jumpy 25-32 vdi in the the side of the median between ruts in on an old farm path. I wasn't too excited yet as there has been some high tone melted aluminum in several places near here.
Dug it up, looked at how shiny it was, checked the date, i swear it said 1984. Looked at the rim, this is silver, then realized its 1934. Finally after 4 years.
Thanks for looking
