    Found this at an old home site. I love the standing liberty quarters. So much detail on a small surface. Its not in too bad of condition. Needs a little more dirt removal. 1924.

    Also found the indian head penny and a rosie. Plus some wheaties with the oldest being a 1911. A nice 1924 wheatie too.

    Great digs JimC...

    Went and looked today,I'll be buying a pair of Whites MXT's in next cpl weeks for wife and I. What do you think of my choice? We looked at Garrett and Whites, chose the MXT's.

    Putting a bunch of Lincolns and some others on Ebay this week to do it, but I have decided that hoarding is no fun, digging is just as fun.

    Nice finds Jim. I'm really amazed to see that the SLQ still has a readable date because the design had not been modified yet to have the date recessed.

    They usually don't. This one musta been dropped not long in circulation. I saw when I found it that it was a S.L. but it was caked in dirt and I couldn't wait to get it home and rinse off the dirt to see the date. I could tell from what I could see of it that it was in pretty good condition. Was hoping for a 1916 but was not to be. Fun stuff.
