46th and 47th silver from secret park section

[Sovereignelite]

I don't believe it! Finally found a Standing Liberty Quarter for 2013. Also my oldest Washington Quarter, a 1934. Went back to the park area I hunted yesterday and found the SLQ within 10 minutes.



That makes my 46th and 47th silver of this year and ties my 1 month record of 12 silvers. Found the old glasses just lying on top of the ground. Found 6 wheats 1911,1916 and so on + a 1940 Jefferson. Best I've done at a park considering I found 2 silvers there yesterday.

Nice silver and coins, but that pair of antique glasses is awesome! I've never seen lenses that look like those. Top-quality surface recovery!

Nice finds, Sovereignelite! Quick question for you, is this park you found STILL a park, or is it on private property now?

I'm in NC and trying to find old parks here - it's tricky to track them down. Wondering if yours is still a park for comparison, or how you found it if it's not...

Not my first ever, just first for this year. It seemed like I could find everything BUT a SLQ! Congrats on your first one, it's my Favorite US coin design!

It's still part of a park and the first one I have had any decent luck in since 1995. I lucked on to an area that is a wooded section now but was originally (I think) a section that was used as the rest of the park is now (neatly trimmed grassy area with benches and tables). It's overgrown with trees and brush but has some remnants of former use. Everything I've found dates to about the 40's or earlier and I have only found ONE pull-tab and no coins after 1944. There are lots of old aluminum screwcaps from beer/liquor bottles, but they're old. It's one of 2 old parks in town and all I had found in the well known areas were a few wheat cents and a recently lost ring: BOREDOM CITY!
