Tot Lot yields silver!

[Shark27]

I was just reading on a recent post that silver quarters are getting harder and harder to come by these days and viola! I ran across this beauty, just 2 inches under the bark. I was shocked how nice this 63 quarter was, I didn't clean it or anything. Found it at the tot lot of all places...go figure.

It's just amazing what kind of coins that will come out of the wood chip boxes. I've seen silver dimes, buffalo nickels, Indian head pennies, silver halves, and even a genuine 1,800 year old roman coin! There is a guy I know down in Simi Valley who got a 5 dollar gold piece under the kid swings in a sand box! I just wish those kids would start bringing 20 dollar gold pieces to school! Cograts on the quarter!

Congrats on the silver. I just found my first Washington silver the other week after 4 years of doing this so I'd agree with the notion that they are getting harder to come by

The Blackbird is cool. The wife & I are on vacation on the gulf coast of Alabama and last weekend we went to see the battleship Alabama in Mobile and in the hangar where the aircraft display was is a real SR-71 "Blackbird" I knew about them in the 70s when I was in the AF but had never seen one up close.

My father-in-law was a Crew Chief on the SR-71 before he got his commission in the 1980s.

He said that the plane leaked like a sieve because the whole airframe would expand in flight by as much as 12".

The engines were never pushed to their limits because the airplane would fall apart.

The aircraft was designed to outrun surface-to-air missiles.

It's real top speed is still classified to this day.
