First SLQ...and it was part of a coin spill

[frogginfish]

For a coin spill, I'd hafta say it was a pretty darn nice one! I dug 8-10 inches down looking for whatever was giving my ATPro the fits! Out pops a 1918-D Walker. The pinpointer is still going off in the hole. I pull out a 1916 buffalo nickel this time. As I start to cover the hole after silence from the pinpointer, I notice a silver quarter laying on top of the dirt. I can just make out part of the flying eagle and my stokeness increases ten-fold! I pluck the sweet roundness from the earth and gently wipe enough dirt away to ID it...it was my first SLQ! The only part of the date readable is the 0 at the end.
Still super nice to me!
Also found nearby was an old metal case of some sort and part of a token.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

Congrats on the great finds!! SLQ's are, IMHO, the nicest coin ever made, so I always look forward to seeing them posted. I'd say yours is a 1920 by the pic.

Congratz on an awesome spill of 3 coins that I haven't found! The Walker is my favorite coin design and the Standing Liberty is my second favorite. You found both in the same hole! Awesome! Hopefully that SLQ is the first of many to come! HH
