Went out again with Bilt46 to the woods for a 6hr hunt lookin for some silvers and was rewarded for my efforts BIGTIME!!!! I got a bouncy signal that went from quarter to iron so I quickly dug my plug and at 6 inches out pops this bad boy!!! When I seen the date and the mint mark I knew it was a great find!!! Happy hunting everyone!!!! :icon_pirat:

Nice! Where do you get so much free time to detect? Lol. Only one SLQ found out this way and it was a no date. Hopefully I can find one like that someday!

Re: My first SLQ for 2010 is a high grade KEY DATE!!!!

Congratulations on finding one of the nicest dug SLQ's I've ever seen (looks like she's an easy AU50):headbang:

I've dug two SLQ's in the past 8 months (one was an honest Abe 11" deep too), and both were dateless :tongue3:

Can you tell me what is significant about the woods area your searching (ie - hunting camps, scout camps, picnic areas, or ?) ?

I've been doing research out here for new hunting sites and tomorrow will be spending the day in the library glued to a microfiche machine looking at 1800's newspapers in hopes of finding new places to hunt, we'll see how it goes.

Congrats again, that's the stuff I dream of finding and the SLQ is one of the most beautiful US silvers made IMHO.

Beautiful SLQ, Fiend!!

Probably the nicest one you will ever dig! :headbang:

Did you get that dig on video?
I don't think the '24D is considered a key date, since there were over 3 million minted, but the grade is certainly as good as one could hope for a dug coin.

The woods hunting has been so good to you....heck, who needs those old, worked out Chicago parks when you're finding barbers at 2 inches(I saw your other post), huh? :laughing9:
Major Congrats!!

Great find my friend! I collect that series and that is a solid XF at the very minimum, putting it at about $200. I've been fortunate enough to find 14 of them, only 2 without a date, but none as nice as yours.

Congratulations and next time, make it a 1923-S in that grade!

Thank you everybody, when I first got the signal I didn't really think anything of it. I dig almost all the iffy signals that I come accross and BAM I was nearly knock on my keaster when I seen what I got!!! :laughing9:

That is definitely the nicest condition I have seen in over 30 years swinging a detector. Found quite a few but none reaching that condition. Best I can muster is a common date VF.

The SLQ has to be one of the least found 20th century coins. Just guessing that I have found less than 2 dozen (not counting comp. hunts).

Many years ago at a hunt a guy was selling "his" finds. Said everything in the case was found last week. He had over half a roll of SLQ's. I ask him about them and he said he found them last week too and all individually! I had a lucky streak he said! Yea right. And I apparently have a big stupid sign on my forehead. (of course my wife would probably agree with that)
