I wanted to find one more silver before the end of the year. I found a silver Washington quarter that looks to be melted or something but silver is silver:) I also found right beside it my first Large cent! I can't quite make out the year but still awesome find for the last hunt of the year. 20171231_110251.webp20171231_110300.webp

Way to go. Your quarter looks like it may have been wacked by a lawnmower. I find a ton of coins in the parks in Az that the mowers ate.

Yeah, that's what i first thought too.
 

Silver is silver and getting a LC to boot is a nice year ender. Well done.
 

Nice! Sure would like to see that LC when you clean it up.
 

Huge congratulations on scoring your first large cent mate! She's a bit crusty but, hopefully you can gently clean it enough to get a date without removing too much detail. Hey, a chewed up spit out GW silver is just about as valuable as an MS65 slabbed one so good for you. Nice hunt.:headbang:

Very well done sir. LC is a tough coin to find.

Congrats and way to brave the cold. I stayed in today, it’s COLD.
 

Many of us have dug coins that have been mangled by lawnmowers. And congratulations on your first LC.
 

Good job with popping out one more silver and your first LC. Congrats!!
 

I checked with the owner today he said the house is a 1917. Wild finding a coin 100 years older than the house. That’s an awesome find for sure. The silver is cool too. Hope next year is even better than this one for us both. Happy New Year erybody!

I guess you never know. There might have been an older home before that one. I have a feeling 2018 will be an awesome year. Happy New year buddy!
 

congrats on the finds and hope you have a great year this year!
 

Nice getting one more silver for 2017. Cool LC! Congrats and HH
 

Nice finds! The water cleaning sure did a number on that large cent :(
