1st SLQ

I haven't hunted much this month. My older daughter graduated from Columbia with a Masters in Nursing last week, and we went to NYC for the ceremony. My younger son joined the Marines, also last week, and is in Parris Island. Also busy with spring yard work.

I went out early this morning to an old park for about 2.5 hours. Tried an area in the turf for a while, but the grass was a little high and very thick, so I don't think I was getting very good depth. I then moved to an area where there's been some construction. One area they had scraped the topsoil off and now they have replaced the topsoil. I missed the original excavation, but today I searched the topsoil, since they haven't seeded or sodded it yet. Found a couple of clad dimes, then hit the SLQ. It was not very deep, maybe four inches. My first SLQ, and with a date (1925). Unfortunately I scratched it a little on the reverse. Got careless digging it up, thinking it was a clad quarter. At least it wasn't a key date. Not shown are several pieces of zinc fence post caps, which sounded like quarters.
 
A person hates to scratch any coin....key date or not. But it happens to all of
us at one time or another because we get in a hurry or think the coin is not
of any value. A SLQ with a readable date is getting to be a trophy find anymore.
Congrats to ya........:wiggle:

thanks for the comments. The topsoil had been spread with a bulldozer, should have known that the old coins could be at any depth. Oh well, lesson learned.
 
Congrats on the stander
Its sharp!
 
Nice one!!:beers:
