I found this in about 3 hours metal detecting. ANd roughly in the same spot I found my oldest coin weeks ago. I have never found one of these before... until now. Been hoping to find one for years. Its now my third oldest coin & my oldest quarter.
Note: Its worn pretty good & the dark lines on it are tarnish lines from grass roots, not any kind of damage. I was very careful digging it out as I rarely get deep quarter signals at this site anymore
I figure it was lost around the early 1900s (which lines up with the age of the site). I was definately suprised when I dug it up though. I rarely find silver quarters at this site anymore. It was in an area I went over once or twice & then moved on because of the trash in the ground & the lack of any decent finds.
