With the temps at 65 degrees, I took off of work to take advantage of the balmy weather. I had four new places to try out, & they did not pan out, so I decided to head out to a park which I frequent just to come back with something in my pocket. This park has been pounded by many a detector, & for the first 2 hours, all I had was a few dollars in clad coins. The last hour I start to head back towards the car taking really big sweeps. All of a sudden this sweet sound came on my detector, when I glanced at the screen, 13-46 was flashing at 8 inches deep. I knew I had deep silver, & I am kicking myself for not bringing my new video camera. I did not know what is was until I got home, & I was happy to find out that I had my first seated quarter.The Ekusive Seated Quarter​

What a beautiful Seated Quarter! It really pays to keep the detector on until you reach the car.

Nice dig! It's true that the first or last swings of the day often yield the best finds--I even wrote a blog entry about it at the banner below. Congrats!
