I have not dug a silver quarter since August, and none since buying a Nox. Plenty of silver dimes, War Nics, Walkers, LCs, KGs, but no silver quarters.
Yesterday I decided to hit a matted down tall grass area in the park after getting skunked In the woods. Found a wheat then finally a 29-30 VDI about 5” deep, small and tight signal.
Yeah, slump busted. Then about 5’ away another identical signal,
Here is the GW and SLQ cleaned up
Found one interesting piece near a cellar hole, seems Art Deco, not sure what it is.
And a handful of brass.
Here is the keeper handful.
I went 28 straight wheats before these quarters, my second longest wheat streak (32 highest), now at 15-54 silver coins to wheats FTY. The dirt gods like to keep me around a 1:4 ratio...
Forget to add a couple more goodies found.
First time I’ve found cash while md’ing. Right there on the park path.
While at a permission on Saturday, where I found the token spill, a neighbor came over and asked if I wanted to do his yard, postage stamp city yard. He asked if I would do the same 50/50 split and as I was swinging I said sure as long as I get to keep any old coins and relics he is welcome to any jewelry that pops out. Before I had a chance to finish my sentence I got a great 21/21 signal, not deep.
He was flabbergasted at the immediate results and potential treasure in his yard. I handed him his first piece of jewelry, 925 silver and he went in and woke the rest of his family up to clear the yard of debris. Found nothing else, but fun to share the excitement .
Good luck out there!
