Took part of the day off yesterday to get out and take advantage of the good weather.
Went to a local park I had never hit before. Did my research ahead of time to determine some promising areas to start searching.
After a couple hours and nothing much to show, but a religous medal, I moved in closer to an old fountain. Near a tree there I scanned a good quarter signal, glancing down I could see a reeded edge protruding from the dirt. So much for a surprise, I knew right away it was a silver quarter. Knocked one piece of dirt off to reveal 1930 date. Remembered the forums good hint not to field clean any more dirt off of it. So I stashed it away.
I surveyed the immediate area in greater detail and at a slower pace... nearby found a 1941 Wheatie and a pocket knife.
This 1930 Quarter marked my first silver I've found since moving to Maryland 2 years ago. I am quite pleased and relieved.
