Here's something I thought was gold when I unearthed it, but it's just plated.I had to work to getthis from the roots.
I opened it up and believe there used to be a picture inside. unfortunately being in the ground
so long ruined it.

About an hour or two before dark, got another quarter. I had found 3 Standing Liberty quarters in years past
and not one with a date remaining. But this one is a clear 1927

Watching General Ray's videos got me thinking that I should add an updated photo

Oh, one more thing.... Elson, where were you?? I waited for you...I thought you wanted to come along
I gotta say this was unbelievable fun to detect a virgin site. Research pays off now and then.
P.S. The lady that owns the land is about 90. I sat outside with her and talked for 45 minutes before I started detecting.
It was one of the best parts of the day... She's a sweetie
Have a good one,
Matt
