Yesterday I recovered a small cut piece of a Standing Liberty quarter and it was the bottom portion of the coin with the date of 1917. This morning tabman and I hooked up for a early morning hunt and about 30 minutes into the hunt I got a nice 89-90 reading with very little depth. I was hoping for a silver quarter, as it was a nice crisp tone. Not a little scratchy like most of those old rusty bottle caps are. As fate would have it, it was a S L quarter about 4" deep. One of those classic, whoever gets their coil over it, got it. Un-fortunately,it was another of those infamous no date varieties. Hence, justice kind of prevails since this S L today is at least whole. Since I've been stricken for a number of days now with the SUV vehicle replacement bug I cut my hunt a little short this morning to try and seek a cure. Before I left, however, I did recover a few pieces of clad and cents, 2 wheat cents, 34 and 52, and as shown, a I H cent with a date of 1896. Today's photo's are fresh from the ground shots only. Everyone have a great weekend. HH jim tn
