Inadvertent Coins from a Colonial Site

[Colonial Zoyboy]

I got out with Colonial Silver Zeus and Colonial KirkPA yesterday. I found a few musketballs, which are always welcomed in my eyes. Later on during the day, I was sweeping with the John Walter passion, when I was startled with a suuuuuuuper loud "R" on "Quarter" reading. I looked down and was greeted with a Standing Liberty quarter right on top of the ground. I picked it up, and stated in a John Walter-like voice, "I will be damned...a silver Liberty quarter...I will be damned. " I yelled over to the Kirk Dude, "Stander...quarter...new wilver." Kirk stated, "Let's move away from here; it must not be as Colonial as the other areas. "

The Indian Head penny was also found in the vicinity. Needless to say, we definitely aborted after this recovery was made.

Kirk the Jerk had to go to work, so we decided to call it a metal detecting day.

Folks, even in the pursuit of Colonial artifacts, you do stumble across coins that were dropped by 20th century fellers.

We are looking forward to what the future may hold for us!

Right on Bob, I'd throw a 1916 D Mercury back if I was hunting for them older sites, what the heck was the guy thinking when he dropped a coin like that. Big dummy. LOL

Boy's I'll take a Standing Liberty anyday, to a coin that you can't even tell what it is. You just know it's green and it might be a really old coin.

Congrats on your newer finds.

P.S. That quarter will probably bring you a nice tidy some if you sold it, just for the silver content. Hey battery money for those really old sites you guys always hunt.
