FOUND MY FIRST SILVER LADY

[dumpdigger68]

I found my first silver today, a nice clean SLQ only about 4" down under a big lilac tree. I'm still flyin kinda high since I have been detecting only about 3 weeks now. I am still getting a very strong signal all around the base of the tree, going to have to do more digging under it to find out if there's more silver waiting for me. I'm using a detector thats a bit of a relic, Bounty Hunter DE-280 Outlaw but it's finding coins for me so it still works. I have'nt bothered to post the clad coins or wheaties but had to show this one off. I only got one pic of the front for now and hope it loads, it may need resizing by someone that knows how, cause I'm not too good at this digital pic thing yet. Thanks for looking and happy huntin to you all.

Zoom in on that date/take several shots at different angles...don't rule out the possibility of an 8 over 7...could be worth $2-$5K if it is an error coin. It's worth looking closer for sure. Here's one that was found last year (great find by RD!) so the photos are available for comparison: http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,244316.0.html
Good luck; keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Hey dumpdigger ~~ Congrads on your 1st SLQ !! and you got an old dated one they are hard to come by with an early date ! Great find ? where are you in central ME ? Maybe we can get together for a hunt ! MaineRelic.

Thanks for all the comments. I'll have to try to get better pic's and pin down the date for sure, but I do think 1918. Wish it was an 8 over 7 and worth something but even if not it's almost priceless to me as my first silver. The back side has much better sharper detail but the pic I took was totally bad. Mainerelic, I am right on the main road in Hampden, so pretty close to you I think. Would be cool to detect with someone with more experience. So far I have only detected the front and back yard's and the tot lot @ the school and some of the ball fields right behind me. I have no idea about other locations around here as I've only been in this area since last November. Oh and I forgot to mention the token I also found today, has William Mckinley on it and info about him on the back and is copper I think. Happy huntin you'all, the season's just beginning for us Mainer's.

Awesome job!!!!

Congrats, I've been hunting for 2 years and still have not found one of those!

I use Bounty Hunter also, find lots of coins, just not much silver.

Great find especially for your first silver,lotta guys still looking for an slq,they didnt make them for very long so they are hard to find to begin with then to have a date,great hunting. Nothing wrong with bounty hunter I started out with one and found tons of great stuff,sold it for what I paid for it so you really have nothing to lose having one,HH...Shoot

Re: FOUND MY FIRST SILVER LADY MORE PICS

Finally got some more pics to show, thanks to my wife. I was about to bury the camera out back for the next generation of detectors to find, as I was getting lousy pics. Beginning to think I need glasses since I did'nt see the "s" until the pic. Is the "m" supposed to be there too? I still can't tell about the 7/8 possibility but maybe some of you can see something. Again thanks for looking.

 

[dumpdigger68]

More pic's, just found out how to add more.

 

[creeper71]

Can you set the Macro (flower icon) on the camera an take a photo of just the date?? To determine if it's a 8 over 7 we will need a very close photo of the 8
