Got My White Whale!!!!!!!!😁

[Digger RJ]

Got off on another hunt today after a job. Found an older part of the town I was in and got permission at a home built in 1942. Really manicured lawn, so I wasn’t sure if they’d let Me. The guy was super Nice and told Me I could also do the field across the street!!!
Off I went. There had also been fill added here, so everything was deep! I found the Wheats first, then the Merc, and then without expecting it, I finally got a Silver Quarter out of roots at 9”, and at first thought it was a Barber Quarter seeing the Eagle. Flipped it over and, Yes, I was sat down for a few Minutes! Wow!!!! Wasn’t in the best shape, but it’s definitely one I’ve been looking for along time. Now I have found 2- Seated Dimes, 1- Seated Half Dime, 1-Seated Quarter, & 1-Seated Half Dollar!!!!!! 1853 with arrows. And I forgot to take a pic of it, but I also got another Silver that says Hitckok on it. A little Silver buckle. Either way one heck of a Day!!!! Silver#27fty!!
Wheats-1949D,1944,1959D
Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting!!!!!!

Great hunt great finds , my only question is why so many are damaged ? The dirt looks quite sandy and no rocks what we're they doing there to damage coins ....?

🤷🏼‍♂️ maybe mower, maybe plow before the homes were in this area?
