Howdy All! Busy week with family, with only one short hunt for just a few hours. Did find my first silver quarter with the E-trac though. 
Lots of trash where I hunted this time. There must have been at least three old home garbage dumps that I swung through. Lots of iffy signals, so I dug alot of old lids, the lock, and toy gun. The merc was very close to the wire jar dipper, and it gave off broken tones and jumpy readings. I swung it in all directions and almost passed on it because of all the junk I had already dug. I found the jar dipper about 4" down, pulled it out and thought the loop was what gave me the odd tones, so pinpointed the hole one last time. I got another hit on the side of the hole and dug about an inch over and down and found it. The quarter was only down about 3" and gave a good solid tone. Looks like it was hit with a small punch a few times and is dented all the way through it. I had always heard that ol' George had bad teeth, but if you look in the picture of the quarter, it does look like he has a toothache on one of those punch marks! 
Only a couple of wheats mixed in this time, and some clad. BSC

Think about how much that Quarter has seen in its time. Wow! Think about how many different pockets that thing has been in. I love coins with character. Congrats!
