Got My First Ever US Standing Liberty Silver Quarter Today With My GTI 2500

[John-Edmonton]

What a day! My first dirt hunt. First silver this year and first silver of that type. I found some south facing slopes that had no snow, and frost free areas, which meant that I could get that relic shovel in 4-5 inches. My 4th signal got a 1949 penny. My 5th signal, showed a silver quarter consistently, in all directions with a coin sized object. It was only down about 1/2 on an inch. I couldn't believe my eyes when I picked it up and recognized it as a US Quarter! What a great hobby!

Check it out below:

Very nice find, John, particularly up where you are, in light of the fact that the Standing Liberty quarter is one of the more elusive silver coins for a lot us downhere. I have found a few over the year's, but it has been several year's since my last one. That is a good first, congrats. HH jim tn

Nice find John. It is cool to find "our neighbors" old coins. A dream find for me is pulling up a 5 cent silver. (I have a few but they're only purchased coins...blah...no memory attached to a find.) Nice mess of coins!
