My fantasy of twins came true today....Pictures added

Earlier this month I found my first Standing Liberty Quarter which was a 1928.

So today at lunchtime I went back to the same park in the same general area and got a good signal that kept jumping back and forth from 50 cent to dollar on my DFX. I dig down around six inches and hit something. Turned out being a 1917 SLQ which now has a nice big gash on the back. I was so mad at myself that I was so off on the pinpointing. Scan the hole again and there is still a good signal. I recovered a second 1917 SLQ...this one without the ugly gash. I guess the second coin threw off my pinpointing.

They look to be two different types but will not know for sure until I clean them up a bit. These two came up with a grayish coating which I notice when I recover silver coins within a few feet of concrete sidewalks. It was hard to go back to the office but I had a interview coming in so I had to return.

Any suggestions on how to clean the grayish coating off? I will try to post a picture when I get home tonight.

Pictures added...I still can't believe I hit one with my digger.

Other then a warm water rinse I did not clean and from all the comments I will not. I hope you enjoyed them. I will try to make it back to this section of the park today if my work day allows for it.

did you check for a mint mark? they are located between the star an left foot of the obverse side

I did not check for mint marks but I will tonight...thanks. Believe or not I'm not a big coin guy unless it is really old (by US standards 200+ years) but with my time restrains I do mostly coinshooting since I can do that at lunch time. No good relic sites close to work.

reason I asked is cause it looks like there maybe a D on the first coin or the coin on left side of obverse photo,but I can't see it that well to be 100% sure

I looked with a loupe and I did not see a mint mark.

Decided not to clean them so they will remain the way they were dug.

alright, it must be part of the star... I was hoping it was a D

I am still looking for my first...to be honest it is not near the top, but it would be a welcome find!

Congrats on the ladies.
