Hi All..........
It was a nice day yesterday so went to the U of Oregon area to hunt for several hours.
I managed to find about $3 in clad coins, three wheat cents and a 1945-s Merc dime.
Today was just as nice so went back to the same area to try my luck again. I managed
to find about $4 in clad, a crushed toy car, car keys, three wheat cents and my first Standing
Liberty Quarter. The SLQ was about 6 inches down in a tangle of roots. I started cutting
the roots with my digger and finally freed the quarter but not before scratching the face a little.
She was caked with dirt and it was hard not to rub the dirt away to see the date but I resisted
and cleaned her up when I got home. Man was I disappointed to see a S mint mark and NO DATE!!
I guess it could have been worse, she could have been a key date ....... then I would have been
heart sick!! Thanks for looking and HH Gold Nuggets
