Turned out to be a beautiful day today and a bountiful one at that. I only have one complaint, I did not dig any wheats :icon_scratch:! And very little clad. But what I did get, I am very happy with. the first signal I got was a mixed one, sorta iffy, but I dug it anyway at about 9 inches I rescued a sliding Liberty quarter, and a 1963 nickel stuck together, Ms. Liberty is slicker than a baby's behind ;D. The next good signal I got was a 1944 Merc. at 9 inches, she was alone :o. Then I went to a different area in the park, and I got a trash/silver signal, just love the way I can cherry pick with this new coil :thumbsup:. The trash signal was a 6 inch spike bent in half, ( that was at 5 inches ) stuck my SunRay X1 probe in the hole and it rang out SILVER! So, I dug down about another 5 inches and found a beautiful 1914 plain Barber Dime........NGE

That's quite amazing that a standing liberty quarter was stuck together with a 1963 nickel. I wouln't have thought that someone would still be carrying a SLQ around in their pocket in 1963 or later.

Very cool!!!! And the rest of your finds are very nice as well.
 

Nice silver. 1963 the year I graduated. Happy Hunting, and good luck....
 

Nice silver I would take that any day over wheats....Matt
