It has been a rough two weeks of moving and setting up my apartment but I am settled for the most part. Have been detecting in the new area, the fields here are full of rocks and very hard on the finds. Today I went out detecting without a plan. I figured I would just go find a field close by since I live in the middle of my detecting region, I finally found one that was not planted near a stream. Only found a few pieces of aluminum junk so I went to a small military housing area nearby that was built on a Celtic graveyard. Found a nice little American style picnic park there, the ice cream truck even drove by ringing his bells. Found a Wheat cent right away and knew there was a chance of American silver. After several pulltabs, bottle caps and a few clad coins I got a screaming signal, I thought beer can, LOL! Dug down and just over 1" out pops a shiney Quarter, I thought dang, a freshly dropped clad quarter, a look at the date, 1950, woohoo! I replaced the small plug and just for grins swung back over it hoping for a pocket spill, same screaming signal and out popped another shiney Quarter, 1957. I was so happy I almost quit detecting, these are my first American silver Quarters. I just love the sound silver makes when it jingles, LOL! I have misplaced my camera somewhere along with a few other things during the move but I will find them soon. And if you do not know, I am in Germany. HH, Mike
