You have GOT to be kidding

This was someone's sick joke.
I was out in the cool woods relic hunting due to the intense heat of the sun and finding the aluminum plate that was deep. Looks like at one time had it nailed to a tree. Possibly a trail marker. And the usual slugs, Union brand 22 cal shells and headstamps when I ran my coil across this slamming high tone about 6" deep.
I pulled out 8 quarters. I knew they weren't silver and I wasn't going to post a quarter clad spill but when I cleaned them off I about cried.
ALL 8 of them were 19 FREEKIN 65! Are your kidding?
I did manage an old bicycle reflector at the road near my car though. That stopped the tears.

Did I say all 8 were 1965? Unbelievable.

Well,at least they were all 1965 quarters and not 1965 dimes.

1965.... the worst year in history for treasure hunters

Atleast you got some gas rebate out of it... The reflector is cool. Neat finds

 

[Joe-Dirt]

Happens to me all the time. I actually go hunting for clad and memorials using reverse psychology to find silver, doesn’t work well

 

[Clad2Silver]

I remember those bicycle reflectors.....nice hunt.

Could have been worse...

they could have been 1966 :P

Maybe it was a bad joke, but it was better than 8 stinkin zincolns !

 

[Joe-Dirt]

It’s amazing how fast those zlicolns dissolve in any soil

That is truly brutal. Kind of funny though. You'll laugh on it in a few weeks time.

Too bad they’re not pre ‘64 like everyone says! Someone tell me what’s wrong with the ‘64’s?

 

[Professor of Engineering]

Nice job! The bicycle reflector is a cool find!

 

[crossfire631]

I understand, that’s my kind of luck also. It’s been too long since I’ve found any silver.
