Well, the beach vacation was a total bust finds wise so yesterday I hit an old city park for over two hours and zilch, not even a zincoln. Got up this morning and told myself not coming home until I at least get a Memorial…….
Got started and got a non ferrous solid 26 with one bar ferrous on the Legend so dug. Looked like some type of costume bracelet at 6” at first but I could see some numbers and a patent number but that was it. Kept going…..
Finally, I got my 1972 Memorial so the dry spell is broken!!! Awhile later I got a deep 7” 45 so hoping a wheat and not disappointed, 1923S. Rescan the plug with the Garrett and buzz again? Had to dig sideways a bit but found it, 1919 wheat! Geez this feels good!
Started slowly heading towards the truck and hit a repeatable 51-52 at 7” so hoping quarter. Boy was I shocked! 1926 Standing Liberty quarter!!! Can see the date but its fairly worn…… who cares??? I can see the date! This is my second Standing so pretty happy but how in the world have we missed this so many times???? Parks has been running the sprinklers and fertilized yesterday so thinking the wet ground helped.
Once home and items cleaned up the bracelet is marked 1/20 12k gold filled, Pat 2097055 and a jewelers hallmark (I hand sketched the mark as best I could but so far no matches. After researching a bit I think this is a vintage womens watch.
Redemption…….
