Two silver quarters were 1942 and 1924






















It was odd how one side was black and one side was clean.
Also found several lead seals and a giant hunk of lead under some tree roots







I thought for sure that was going to be jars filled with coins

 

[unfound]

Looks like a great day right there !!! What is the "item" you thought was jars filled with coins?

 

[GatorBoy]

It's solid lead? It reads ANCO LEAD CO. that's all I know right now.

Freakin hard labor. That lead item looks interesting. Would love to find a standing liberty. I know I can go buy one but whats the fun in that. Finding your own makes it more rewarding.

sponge using smoke signals.

 

[GatorBoy]

Yeah.. Not worth much to me if bought.
No mint mark on this one..so about 16$

Very nice SLQ... great condition. Congrats.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Congrats on your silver!

That's a lot of digging! I don't know if I could stand that kind of excitement digging up what "could" be containers of coins only to find plugs of lead! It's hard enough when the "ring" turns into a pop top! Lol!
One of these days it will be jars of coins! GL. HH!

 

[I-DIG-IT]

Nice digs.

 

[GatorBoy]

[park pirate]

[GatorBoy]

Thanks..the other side is in very good shape also just stained

 

[NVNutcase]

That's a full day. Not what you'd call a "Quick" hunt. Good workout for the knees!

 

[GatorBoy]

The cell phone camera doesn't do it justice






Feel like I did 500 squats oh wait a minute I did

 

[treblehunter]

Nice digs and thanks for those pictures

 

[GatorBoy]

Thank you

 

[Hendo0601]

Awesome finds!!!! That giant piece of lead has to weigh a freakin ton! No wonder you are worn out if you were schlepping that thing all over the place!

 

[antique man]

Sweet silver!

 

[GatorBoy]

Haha..thanks guys... That lead weighs about 30lbs.
It stayed under the tree til I left
