Hello everyone,

I have been working an old farm site, home built around 1850 or so. Found a bunch of wheaties, a 1894 Indianhead and a 1951 Rosie. Hit a jumpy quarter signal on the Whites 6000 and pinpointed. Found a square nail in the hole and pinpointed again. Quarter signal just off the side of my original plug and bam a silver edge pops out at me.

I flipped it over and a beautiful 1924 Standing Liberty Quarter in great condition. No mint mark but a keeper none the less. Another item off the metal detecting bucket list and great addition to the collection.

I broke my knife shortly after finding the SLQ but I didn't mind at all, lol.

It has been an amazing first year of metal detecting and it is amazing how much I learn each time out.

Keep on lookin,

Steven

AND it's a pre-1925 which is when they recessed the date: finding one with a date before that year makes them a lot more valuable. I only found my 3rd one ever this year.:thumbsup:
