More silver and some unexpected coins

McCDig · Aug 25, 2018

Got out this AM with JF and we went to an elementary school new to us and built in 1955.

My first silver target was a sterling ring.

We were digging lots of clad. On separate holes I dug Canadian cents, one from '59 and the other '67.

One more foreign coin surfaced today, a 1 Riyal from Saudi Arabia.

I ended up with $7 in clad and did manage one more silver before heading home.....

….a well-worn Standing Liberty quarter, 1929.

Nice couple of silver saves. The 1 Riyal is a first for my eyes. Thanks for sharing the photos and congrats on the finds.

Hello MD. Those are some real good finds you got there...I'd be very happy with that hunt, cool silver ring, odd coins, and an SLQ with a date...NICE.

Good Luck out there. C9

Thanks C9! The school property is used by the locals to walk their dogs and JF, who has a lab, is like a magnet for these four-legged friends.

Thanks Rook! Agreed, I would like to go back and hit that area again and some the grounds we just didn't have time to cover.

Thanks Professor! I'm really liking this part of town and the Equinox 600 seems to be able to find the silver.

McCDig · Aug 26, 2018

Thanks Jeff! My first Kingdom of Saudi Arabia coin.

Thanks Whyme! Watched a YouTube video by Tarheel Diggin' last night where he records digging a 1917 SLQ in pristine condition. Worth watching this.

Thanks Hawks88! The part of the SLQ I saw in the plug was the eagle wings, then it registered with the old brain …. that's another standing liberty!

McCDig · Aug 26, 2018

Thanks TomW244! The numbers and sound of that SLQ were very similar to clad quarters and deep and green memorials I'd dug that day.

Thanks ddf! I haven't dug many "Standers' since I got back into detecting in late 2014, I think 5 in all, but three of those 5 have come from this area in Baltimore County.
