found another standing lib!

[hollowpointred]

i had a pretty good morning today. i went out yesterday morning to the sneaky spot, but got skunked, so this morning i decided to go back to an old school that i have hunted before a while back. it was built in the 20s so i knew there had to be some silver hiding somewhere. i was right! i found this standing liberty right behind the football bleachers. the date is worn of of this one , but im still happy to find it! in three years of hunting i never found one and now ive found 2 in the last month! i also found a sterling ring and three wheaties. id post a pic of the ring but i have no camera and it doesnt scan very well. i really thought this place would be hunted out by now but i guess i will have to return to this school a few more times and treat it a little more seriously. thanks for looking!

Congrats, Hollowpointred!!!! Those SLQ's are hard tough finds. I just found a no-date S mintmark yesterday also. I bet there are more silver in the area you found this coin. Just swing slow and listen to every signal in ground.

Were you using a different machine for those past 3 years when you didn't find an SLQ?

Way to go, Keith. Everyplace is "hunted-out" nowadays. But you showed your skill in finding a nice Stander in that hunted out place. See ya' later. I'm back to the Meadows this afternoon.

Sweet! I've never found one and I've been detecting for a long time.

I've also found with my huinting that when I find one, they start coming.

Seriously, I've even wished I've found a certain type coin, and always find that coin in a few days. Wierd I know. Come on gold coin.

Good job dude, keep at it.

Way to go man! Great!

I think my last SLQ find was back in the 60's.

I'd rate them as scarce as bust coins.

NICE! I actually found my very first one about a half hour ago , I personally now know the rush you felt! Congratulations!

What makes it even cooler is you found it at a public school. That means many before you have missed it!


Great find!

thanks everyone! i think the reason it was still there is that it was on edge in a whole lot of trash. most other guys probably didnt want to be bothered with all of the junk in that spot ( i didnt want to deal with it either but i stuck with it anyway! ) most of the property looks like it has been graded except for a very small portion. it surprised the hell out of me!

i wish it was! it has the stars on the back . i figure it has to be between 1917 and 1924 since the date was raised but thats just a guess.
