All Treasure Hunting
It was overcast today but the weather report didn't call for rain till noon. I wanted to revisit a spot that has provided me with 2 large cents, V nickels, miscellaneous 20th century silver and some interesting artifacts.
Last spring, having a surplus of time to detect due to the virus, I crisscrossed this spot on a dozen visits. I figured that I'd hit the high spots and that there wasn't much left. I made a couple of trips where I only dug the obvious as well as highly ambiguous signals.
The visit today started with a Wheatie that rang on my Equinox like a quarter. It was a full 8" down and very crusty. The next 90 minutes produced a little clad, can slaw and bottle caps.
It started to drizzle and I began working my way back to the car. I hit a couple of memorials and said "One more signal, then quit".
I got a strong deep 20's and figured maybe an Indian head, maybe another Large Cent, maybe???.
Pinpointed, popped the plug, nothing in the plug or hole. Dug a little deeper before my carrot beeped. Pulled out a clod and saw the beautiful, thick silver edge of a quarter.
Spraying it off revealed the best Standing Liberty I've found. It's also my first silver coin since July 1st.
This is such a great hobby!

Very Nice!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!! Those don't show up often!!
 

good detail in that coin, love the SLQ, that's how I dug my first SLQ, took about 4 years into detecting, dug everything else, now I got a bunch, dig a lot of them at the beach, about one per year, great find:thumbsup:
 

Excellent 27 SLQ, grats and thanks for taking us along.
 

That's a beauty
 

Freaking Gorgeous! Congrats!!!:hello2:
 

Wow ...You should be proud of that one. Beauty. Congrats!
 

That's a beautiful standing lib with a nice crisp date. Don't see that very often
 

That is one great looking full date Standing Liberty. They don't come out of the ground like that very often.
 

I would have been saying.....please be an S, please be an S. But even without, it is quite a nice coin. One of my favs.
