This afternoons finds.

This afternoon's finds.

Searched a small wooded area behind another old high school. This first picture shows a couple old insulators, a 1910 V Nickel, a 1918 Buffalo Nickel, 1918, 1940 and 1944 Wheat Cents and a religious medal (St. Stanislaw). I removed the thick copper wires that were wrapped around the insulators and cleaned them up pretty good.



This next find is the best Standing Liberty Quarter I've found in quite a while. It was 4 inches deep under a prickly bush. Soaked it in a solution of water and baking soda for about 3 hours and the dirt lifted right off.

Thanks everybody. Keith, that's another good thing about hunting in the woods. It gets you out of the wind. Say, did you check out the Wilmington Coin Club's annual show this weekend?
You want to see some coins? Check it out. It's running through Sunday at the Nur Shrine Convention Center on Rte. 13 past the New Castle Airport.

That is a great quarter. I will bet that it was new when the person dropped it.
That guy probably dropped it when he fell in the the prickly bush's great great grandfather heh heh

That is a beauty of a SLQ. I think it will grade XF & is currently listed at $50.00. Congrats!

Re: This afternoon's finds.

Wow sweet quarter! Besides maybe a few signs of light wear on the eagle, I would have said it looks quite possibly MS-60+. Cool V nickel too. HH
