First Silver Quarter!

[Southern_Boy]

Hi Everyone:

First, let me say that I am on cloud Nine I went out today for a small hunt and did not expect to really find much. I had really set my heart on just finding some clad. I went to a local soccer field that dates back to 1950s and where I had found some jewelery, though not worth that much.

This time instead of hitting the field, I decided to hunt along the tree lines as there were alot of workers out marking in the field. True to my heart desire I am finding just some clad and I was getting ready to head on home and do some work. As I was walking back to where I left my coffee cup I got a strong signal registering silver on my detector. I dug down about two inches and sitting in the plug was this quarter that looked as if it had just be dropped that day back in 1964! I was sure that it was silver but could not wait till I got home to find out.

So, I called a friend of mine that I have met here SC_hunter and asked him! I was so happy when he told me yes, that quarter is Silver!!!!! . SC_hunter was happy for me and encouraged me to keep on detecting till I found a merc dime, alas I had to get on home and take care of some chores.

I will post a picture in the future when my wife gets home. I just wanted to share the good news with everyone. Now that I have eliminated the silver coin from my list, I can focus on the Indian Head Penny/Buffalo Nickel/Mercury Dime...

May everyone have a great and wonderful day.

Congrats on your first silver quarter. I had one 'spit' back at me from the coke machine the other day. Good job

Great job on that silver quarter! It must be a real thrill. I'm still looking for my first silver quarter. I've got dimes, half dollar, morgan dollar, and war nickel, but I'm still looking for that first quarter. It will come, I'm sure.

Keep the fever high, and HH!

Southern Boy,
Very exciting. I am glad you managed your first silver quarter. I also found my first silver quarter today-a 1964. It sounds like you have found plenty of silver but it sure is nice to land the silver quarter. Keep it up.
