Turned out to be a beautiful day today and a bountiful one at that. I only have one complaint, I did not dig any wheats :icon_scratch:! And very little clad. But what I did get, I am very happy with. the first signal I got was a mixed one, sorta iffy, but I dug it anyway at about 9 inches I rescued a sliding Liberty quarter, and a 1963 nickel stuck together, Ms. Liberty is slicker than a baby's behind ;D. The next good signal I got was a 1944 Merc. at 9 inches, she was alone :o. Then I went to a different area in the park, and I got a trash/silver signal, just love the way I can cherry pick with this new coil :thumbsup:. The trash signal was a 6 inch spike bent in half, ( that was at 5 inches ) stuck my SunRay X1 probe in the hole and it rang out SILVER! So, I dug down about another 5 inches and found a beautiful 1914 plain Barber Dime........NGE

That's quite amazing that a standing liberty quarter was stuck together with a 1963 nickel. I wouln't have thought that someone would still be carrying a SLQ around in their pocket in 1963 or later.

Very cool!!!! And the rest of your finds are very nice as well.
 

Looks like you are gettin some, might have to change your name :D

Great Finds :thumbsup:
 

Nice silver. 1963 the year I graduated. Happy Hunting, and good luck....
 

Nice silver I would take that any day over wheats....Matt
