"FINALLY" A Standing Liberty Quarter

Left work today and went out to search an old homesite next to a friends house. Only had about two hours to work the site. In twenty years of detecting, that SLQ has always evaded me. Today my friends, that madness stopped. I finally dug my first SLQ with a 1918 date. I also dug a few other silvers and some indians. Here is what I pulled today.

1918 Standing Quarter
1918 Merc Dime
1908 Barber Dime
1896 IH
1903 IH
1910 V-Nickel

Nice work! I'm jealous! Did you find them near side walks? Where did the pulls come from?

Wow, the condition of that SLQ is amazing. Congratulations on finding your first!

The barber dime looks like it might clean up nice too. I would have undoubtedly scratched that SLQ, that's my luck.

Re: "FINALLY" A Standing Liberty Quarter

That is a beautiful SLQ. You are a lucky man.

I have been sacrificing goats and swinging a detector for 17 years, and have yet to find a good SLQ with a date. My girlfriend is threatening to leave me if I do not find one soon.

How many goats did you have to sacrifice?

I have yet to find a dated SLQ as well...but I've heard that if you sacrifice baby goats, your Goat Karma will get boosted up more quickly.

Re: "FINALLY" A Standing Liberty Quarter

Nice SLQ- The best Slq is the 1918 8 over 7-s Better check that mint mark and look really close for the top bar of the 7 through the top of the 8. I found one back in the early 80,s. Nice bunch of coins.

Re: "FINALLY" A Standing Liberty Quarter

Maybe a 1917 over 1918? can you do a close up? Purty, real purty.

Re: "FINALLY" A Standing Liberty Quarter

Here is a close-up of the coin. Didn't see any 7 under the 8 do you ? I did knick the rim a bit while digging, still figuring out the pinpointing on this new detector.

Re: "FINALLY" A Standing Liberty Quarter

Nice work! I've only been detecting for about a year now but the SLQ is one of the coins I would most love to find. Gotta say, I 'm a little jealous!
