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.

Bob, the white insulator sure looks like a great display item to me, good find, the smaller one I have seen before but not the big one, it is nice looking.

The quarter, well, nothing left to say, everybody has said it, so neat to find a SLQ in such outstanding lack of wear condition. That is one of the best ones I have seen posted in a long time.

PS, I got to get to that coin show one of these years, I hear they are excellent places to take a few coins you might have and get offers made by real buyers.

Don, that coin show was pretty good. Cliff and I were down there Friday. Sold and traded a lot of stuff. Finally completed my Barber Dime set when I picked up a '96-s. It was the last of the seven Barber Dimes I hadn't found MDing. Also traded for a 1900 British Sovereign, mainly because the dealer didn't have enough money on hand at the time to pay for the coins I had. But it was worth it. Ran into some old friends from the Delaware MD Club. You should try to get there sometime.
