Found the SLQ on after work hunt while working out of town and finally got the other finds cleaned up. Finds include: 1942 Merc, 14 Wheats(1919P,1922Plain?,1926P,1934D,1935P,1936P,1944P,1949P,1950D,1951S,1952D, 2 1955Ds, and a 1944 that was shot by a shotgun), 2 Nickels(1949D and 1959D), 1979 Susan B. Anthony Dollar, a LIBERTY token with the astrological sign LEO on the reverse, a corroded aluminum token from somewhere in Tennessee, a sterling silver barrette, a Richard Hudnut Three Flowers compact(1920s), a Prym belt buckle marked "3/4", a 2" brass water nozzle, a brass button with a ship's wheel motif, a live 38 REM-UMC pistol cartridge, a +or- 32 slug, brass drawer pull, pocket watch interior part, 3 glass and one clay marble, red gem-cut bike reflector, a Porsche 959, a Jeep Golden Eagle, and last, a 1942 Walking Liberty Half that was the last thing I found before it got so dark, I couldn't see, and my tiny flashlight's batteries were dead. It has a thin coat of minerals on it because it was buried in a caliche gravel driveway since WWII. It looks in excellent shape otherwise so hitting it with electrolysis should bring it back to it's former splendor. What do you think about the 1922 Plain Cent? Is the mint mark just corroded away?
 
You've been busy Floyd. Looks a lot like my finds to except I only seem to find mercs. Nice walker and SLQ------:thumbup:
 
Thats a lot of targets, and some really great ones in the mix! Nice work!:clapping:

Excellent hunt and a great variety of targets. Tough to tell for sure on the 22 wheat. It has seen better days, for sure. HH jim tn
 
Very nice standing liberty quarter. Most of them come out of the ground really worn.
 
The 22 no mint mark is a 'good' one!! Good assortment of stuff. Looks like you and I dig the same sort of spots.
 
Congrats on your finds, your SLQ & walker are awesome finds, that 1922 wheat is a keeper! Thanks for sharing.
 
Excellent finds 407floyd!

The 1922 is, unfortunately, the 1922 "weak D" variety. I can see the traces of the D mintmark just above the light spot. I know how you feel. I dug a 1922 that in my excitement thought was the 1922 Plain. When I got home and rinsed the dirt off of it, like on yours, I saw the VERY weak D. It's still an excellent find: the Weak D's are worth more than the regular 1922-D's.

That is a beautiful Standing Liberty Quarter! Your soil was kind to it. Best of luck and ...

Happy Hunting!

After I took the pic of the 1922 cent, I enlarged it and could imagine a very faint D. Oh well, it was in craptastic condition anyway. Hope everyone has as good a time hunting as I had.
 
Howdy 407floyd--

Night and Day! Good job on the Walking Liberty Half. I usualy don't clean silver coins but there are exceptions to every rule. Your cleaning sure didn't hurt it! best of luck and...

Happy Hunting!
