First Silver

[plumbcrazy]

I have been researching and scanning property to find the exact location of an old plantation. Today I located what I believe to be the overseers house and came up with this quarter. Ironically after browsing through Tnet last night and reading about a very rare half dime, I found myself dreaming about silver coins. I woke up this morning with one goal, find silver. The sad part of the story is that the coin was in excellent shape until I scratched it with my shovel. If my research proves true I should be able to find more goodies near by.

That coin has really good detail. How deep was it?

It was about 4 inches deep and pinged 89-91 on my ATPro. The detail is amazing, I can read all of it clearly, even the liberty on her crown. One day I will buy a camera instead of using my phone.

That is one helluva first silver! Hope that plantation and your parish and good research continue to deliver.

P.S. I at least, and maybe almost everyone, has laments at digger scratches. I still haven't totally resolved them, but do tend to dig a bit wider and deeper hole than indicated. Of course in roots and deep grass and getting irked I still kind of stab and exert. Heh!

P.P.S. Can I trade you that for my first silver? LOL VERY nice coin! I've never gotten a quarter earlier than a Washington. Grats!

Beautifully first silver!!! Congrats! It happens, I scratched my first barber dime, cause I assumed It was a clad, I should have paid more attention to what my detector was screaming in my ear.

If that Eagle had an "S" chasing it, you would have a VERY good coin. Few hundred dollar range.
