Sunday the weather was beautiful here so I finally decided to bite the bullet of the price of gas and drove to a nearby town to an old fair grounds that I know of. I parked my car by the concession stand and within 5 minutes (the first target I dug) it was my first indian head (1896). I got excited and immediately thought "This is gonna be an awesome spot to hunt". Well 3 hours later after nothing but pull tabs, pop cans, and very little clad I headed back for the car. I was so bummed, I really thought I would at least find a silver rosie or a merc. :BangHead:
So yesterday after work I decided to go to a friends place who has been using my back up detector. She lives on a farm that has been there for over 100 years and is listed as a Missouri Century Farm. I only had a couple hours to detect but what a hunt for me. I dug my first SLQ (no date) and my first silver Washington (1944). The Bulldog keychain/fob is pretty cool too, it says Avery engines Peoria, IL. Sorry about the quality of the pics, I think my camera is about dead :-\ Thanks for lookin'

Very nice,you must be exited with all your first's.That's what this hobby's about ,the thrill of finding something you have never found before.I've found a bunch of silver Washington's ,but I have not landed a SLQ.WTG.
 

Nice SLQ but to me once I saw your pictures I had to say to myself ohh look at the pretty puppy. That would of been my highlight of the day. I have what might to be a really stupid question but what exactly is a fob?
 

LUCKY !!! I collect old bulldog stuff... that sure is a fine little trinket!

Nice finds Charlie! Conrats on your two firsts. I've been detecting since 1999 and I've only found 2 SLQ's. :thumbsup:
