My Lucky week continues... Standing Liberty Quarter

basssmann · Sep 28, 2017

I have owned many brand detector's over the last 28 years. Last year I bought my Fisher F75, it was a learning curve, with the VDI's different from most detector's I had been use to. This year, I'm really listening to the machine, and finding Silver with other coins or objects in the hole.

Today, was another one of those, with a Silver Quarter VDI, bouncing around... Dug the plug, pulled a 1907 "V" nickel out of the hole.. Knew the VDI was much higher... reached in the hole and pulled more dirt out by hand. A 1917 Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarter.. The nickel was on top of the quarter and the green crud stuck to it... It took over an hour in a salt water electrolysis , to get the crud off.

After this week, I'll be spoiled, and throw my Rosie's back.... LOL NOT !!!!!! I value every silver I find, and think of a few friends every time I dig one. Make the time to get out... what a stress reliever....

That's a real crisp looking SLQ, you're having one great silver week. Now I'm thinking that the next post will be about finding a silver dime.

You are scoring GREAT lately and this silver standing liberty quarter is looking so crisp after her bath. Congratulations and wishing the streak continues.

I had a Charlie Brown evening where all I got was .........(rocks)....and....nails.

Look at that detail! I'm so used to seeing slicks that I often forget that it is one of the most beautifully detailed American designs. Congrats!

Underwonder.... I don't always find good stuff either... I just don't post "I found crap" LOL

This morning , I jinxed myself... I checked a coinstar before detecting.... Found a Rosie and Barber DIme !!!! Who does this

Kids steal Dad's stash ??

Anyway, after finding them, I went out and got some clad.. LOL I don't count coinstar as finds, they don't go with my metal detected coins, but, it kept my Lucky week

going into 2 weeks.. haha

I'll post picture's here later...
