First Hunt 2017-First Silvers

[deershed]

On our way over to the site where I found the NJ copper, the kid and I stopped at a house I tried getting permission from last week. Today the owner was home and we got a yes.
We found some wheats then the kid finds his first silver for the year, a 37-D merc. He also found an eagle button he left on the hood of the jeep when we left, gone now.
Next I found my first silver, a dateless SLQ. Before I dug my first silver I dug a totally unexpected 3 ringer, a bonus for the day.
Next and back to back we both dug another silver. The kid a 1940 Washington and myself a 1945 merc.
We left there and headed to the jersey copper property. All I got there were more wheats, 75 dog tag, and an old cufflink.
The kid made out better finding a toasted LC, wheats, and 4 Indians. The kid got a wheat/ Indian spill finding 9 wheats and 2 Indians.
Total for wheats was 11 me, 22 for the kid. That spill really helped his count. Lol

Very well done...a three ringer and a SLQ... that's a nice combo... with Indians and a merc on the side.

Congrats to you and the boy on a strong start to 2017!

Nice way to start the year. I love finding SLQ's even if they are worn.

I think I've got a post or two in that thread. Lol I think what oddcoins is doing is Awesome!!
Thanks for the link though, I don't think my 1975 tag has a chance at being the oldest from Adams country. My personal oldest tag is from Washington county Maryland and from 1922. Love finding old dog tags.

I agree with finding the SLQ's, I'll take them with or with out a date. When they come out worn down it gives the coin character.
Two years ago a dateless SLQ was one of my first silvers for the year.
