Wicked silver spill, one of my best!!!

[Gridwalker306]

My brother, nephew, and I went to a spot today that I was guessing has never been hunted. It's an old homestead, and there is a tiny window of time between being frozen and then the grass being waist deep. We couldn't stay as long as I would have liked, the guys were freaked out by ticks, and did not want to stay. I could have stayed another five hours!!

My first signal of the hunt was a solid 97, and I was so happy to see an 1888 Vicky quarter, my first one ever! Then another one, the 1899!! I checked the hole and another Vicky, a dime. I put the pointer back in the hole and dislodged yet another silver, and then I started filming. I have never found a Vicky quarter, and the only Vicky dime I have found as a very smooth 1891. I'll try to get the video up...

Fantastic Find!! Oldest quarter I've found is only a George VI. Best of luck and continued success in your hunts!

Great Spill ! I'm jealous ! I really am- because I'm crazy for Vicky silver coins !!! The Vicky quarters are a tough find !

Hell of a spill buddy! My first good silver was an 1887 Vicky quarter. Hope your luck continues bud

You got that right, Victoria silver coins aren't the thing that pops out all that often, especially in multiples AND in 25 cent pieces!
Super spill! Well done!

Thanks everybody! Most coins that I find in that date range are American, which is cool, but I have really been hoping for another Vicky, and a Vicky quarter was on my dream finds list.

Ticks be damned, I wanted to stay as long as my as possible! Unfortunately my brother and nephew weren't into it, they really wanted to leave and do something else. I have been waiting patiently all winter, it was torture to leave after 45 minutes haha! It was my one shot to have someone go with me, it's out in the bush and I prefer to not hunt way out there alone. I'll have to just bite the bullet, strap my big knife to my leg and get back out there.

Yes Cru, especially for the poor farmers that pioneered way out here so long ago, trying to make a life on the prairies. I'm thinking 70cents would have bought a lot of groceries, or a good pair of work pants.
