Taking the spoils

[etracmick]

Went out today to an old beach area. Obvious that someone had been there before me. I can only dream of the bounty they must have found. But to my delight I found the spoils of what they discriminated out. The past 2 days has revealed 2 buffalos (1929 and 19??), 2 V nickels (1899 and 1900) nickels were 3-4 inches, 3 wheats (1916, 1917, 1955), some clad and a 1934 quarter on edge butted up against a screw cap. Still imagining what it was like for those first MD'ists there!! Point being, I'll take those old nickels anyday.

Honestly I almost didn't dig it (can't remember the readings) with a solid tone, but figured the easy sandy, soil, what the heck. Came up all screw cap, but weirder things have happened. When I dug the cap, there, nearly leaning on it was the beautiful silver rim of the quarter. Instant excitement and paydirt!
