New Lego man found today

 

Wow ! Your on a roll Mr. Lego man .

 

Now Joey has angry Colonel Sanders to help show off your finds!!

 

Either 1926 or 1929 on that SLQ Paddy.

 

7 Silver Coins in 2 days

 

'45 & '39 Merc's look decent enough Paddy. What's the date on the 'third'? Can't quite make it out.

 

Looks like your on a roll!

 

That would be 1918

 

Congrats @paddyman98 I love to here your stories and analysis of coins.

 

I was wrecking my brains for the past half hour trying to figure out how you did that - narrow it down to those particular 2 years. I went to check the Redbook but couldn't find any clues or special markers for those two years. And then, I figured it out (I think). It's that circular loop? So I overlayed both 1926 and 1929 over Paddyman's SLQ. The 1929 fitted perfectly.

 

Yup. 29 was my first guess.

 

Amazing how you noticed it. I would have said dateless beyond the possibility of recognition. But no!

 

Perhaps I look at coins too much? lol

 

The SLQ was found near an old huge tree buried near its root about 6 inches down..
As I kneel on the ground with my heart racing with such finds I imagine someone sitting against the tree almost 100 years ago and them not noticing the coin dropping out of their pocket then slowly sinking into the dirt for it much time later be found by me!

 

I now have a total of 6 metal detected SLQ's

 

@paddyman98 , I think of two Lovers lying next to an Old Oak Tree dropping their change while rolling around playing games .

 

25 cents in 1929 was worth about $4.04 in today's money. That wasn't an insignificant sum of money.

 

Thanks @furryfrog02 , was that $.04, significant also back in your day too !

 

Dude. I'm 37. Just because I am curmudgeonly doesn't mean I'm old
Now....
