Persistence pays off with an old silver.

I was out earlier... hiding under trees during the downpour. During the breaks, I managed to find a couple of keepers. I tell ya... my next machine will be waterproof.

1905 25 Cents




Button



Musketball



Happy hunting.

Very nice find GTG. Seems edwards of any kind are a scarce find, and that is in exceptional shape. ObV. pic seems a little distorted but looks VF (or very very close) @ $175.oo. is the top of ear merged, or clearly separated ?

Congrats.

PS, plastic bag.

Well at least someone's getting rain.

Nice silver, and the musketball and button round out a nice trio of finds.

Hi Rick. If you refresh the page they go to the original size. I'm not sure why my IMG codes do that....

I can see the outline of Edwards ear.

Nice in every way, nice surfaces, perfect rims, and even medium toned, just the way I like em.

Yeah it looks like the pics were resized more vertically than horizontally, IE the coin in the pic is not round.

Now go get the matching half dollar.

I love the older Canadian Silvers from the early 1900s...
Great find!

What we want is a 1906 Small Crown... $3,000 +

Whoever finds that buys the other guy a water machine.

[cjon455]

[OneWetKnee]

That is a deal!

 

[JRMan]

Nice finds!

 

[pepperj]

Nice going on the silver!

 

[The Patriot]

Dedication in the rain pays off...I still remember the one IP and I did one year...my boots were full of water, as it rained long and hard...thanks for sharing...

 

[wkrp43]

Nice finds!

 

[Wildcat1750]

Nice silver, etc! I use the plastic bag over the control box which works well as long as I don't get submerged!

 

[Argentium]

Oh Canada ! ... how I love your silver coins !!! Great find Gio - and apparently worth a few $$$

 

[Sovereignelite]

I have had "fun" with the weather as well. Got caught in torrential downpours 2 days in a row. I have the controls on my Etrac shrink-wrapped and then a layer of Gorilla tape all around except the screen. I can stay out in the rain for a while. If nothing else it's good for when you get caught in the rain: at least you have time to get somewhere dry without your detector getting ruined.

Nice coin! I found one and it is so worn you can hardly see anything on it. 2-4 inches coming my way over the next few days. Great silver score sir.
