First hunts of the year . . . Zincoln convention & 1st Silver 25¢

My first 9 hours with the MXT in my own yard yielded up over 50 coins including my first ever silver quarter, a '63-D Wash. Other highlights were a single clad quarter, 6 clad dimes, 4 wheats, not all pictured ('14, '30, '40, '44) and two tokens (a Chuck-E-Cheese and a generic arcade "NO CASH VALUE") . . . the rest, sadly, were ordinary pennies - Cu & Zn memorials. This is a very small but challenging patch of grass, awash in rusty nails, small squares of aluminum siding and many of the dreaded zincolns. I must have pulled 10 out of a spot only 5 or 6 inches across. I was very grateful for my new pinpointer - it made the job of isolating the individual coins as well as clearing away surface targets much easier. The job isn't done yet - there must be some more goodies hiding under those shallow targets. The house was built in 1905 so I'm hopeful for at least a Merc. or two. :super:

Congrats on the 25c silver piece. It is always exciting to find the next new type coin. When I found my first slq last week 1928 Quarter. When I found my first 50 cent piece WOw. Looked like a wagon wheel.
 
Sorry about the broken links - it looked fine in the preview.
