is in BAD shape. I had a about an hour to get out this afternoon and went to an old house and decided to hunt along the old driveway leading up to the house. The driveway had been covered with a layer of blacktop years ago. I finally found out what the E-Trac sounds like on big silver, there was no mistake in my mind that this was silver. I just stood there waving the E-Trac back and forth thinking this sure is a sweet sound, I hope it is silver. I started to dig and after about 1 inch I ran into the chat and oil mix from the blacktop, I was very careful and finally at about 5 inches I saw the oil covered coin and didn't know for sure what it was. I went to the truck and ran some water on it and could see that is was a SLQ. I could not make out the date but when I got home I put it under a light and magnifying glass and finally made out the 25 but couldn't even see the 19. My first SLQ is in BAD shape but I am still doing the happy dance. :wiggle: Firsts are really fun!! Love this E-Trac. Thanks for looking, Randy
 
Congratulations! SLQ's are such a cool coin.
 
Regardless of conditon - any SLQ is a great find - good job !
 
She is beautiful ! Congrats on your first big silver! :clapping:

Bad shape our not she is yours and she is a beauty! Congrats!
 
Thanks for all the encouragement, it is really exciting for me. The town where I live was only established in 1907 and there is nothing really old in this area. Finding silver around here is not very common, there is not much history around here before the 1900's. Thanks everyone. HH - Randy
 
Congrats Randy!----The dates on so many of those Standing Liberty quarters are worn off because of the high relief on the (date) strike.---They sure aren't found all that often either but you found that one--and that baby's "yours all yours"!.----Thanks for shareing the hunt story & the pictures. :thumbup: ----------Del
 
well done matey lovely find i am so pleased you have seen the light lol i feel elated when i go out with my etrac so i get all my jobs done double quick and then go hunting etrac style fantastic feeling
HAPPY HUNTING ALL OF YOU HERES TO BETTER WEATHER COMING
 
Congrats!! I will take a worn out SLQ anyday. I would rather find one of those over a Barber. I think they are one of the nicest looking coins ever made.

Yours looks similar to one of the ones I found last year and I think she is a beauty queen:)
 
Yes, SLQ's seem to be rare in this part of the country too.
I hunt at a lot of older locations - have found 3400 coins with my E-Trac - only two were SLQ's !
