Silver Where Least Expected

[Holedigger]

In 90+ degree heat and humidity I was sweating, drinking gator aid like crazy, and digging in dry concrete at 7+ inches for bottle caps. At this old park and neighborhood I am ever careful of my environment and safety. In an isolated spot of the park with no one around, along comes a guy that would make two of me, heading right toward me. I was thinking fight or flight? At that point when I thought I had better do something, I could see he started smiling and didn't think he posed a threat. He was very polite and excused himself from disturbing me, he said he knew I was hunting for coins. The man handed me a worn standing liberty quarter (no date) and asked me if it was worth anything. I told him with no date it was a scrap silver coin and not worth much. He asked if I would give him a buck for it and I said yes. I asked if he had anymore, as I would be interested in buying them. He said yesterday he had a bunch of old nickles, dimes, quarters and half dollars and spent them at the liquior store!GO FIGURE? I did manage to dig a 1903 Canada quarter at seven inches of 6 bag concrete soil. I'll personally wait for the rain until next time...

Did you go to the Store were he spent them? You may have gotten lucky and they still had them in there till. Nice Canadian Quarter you dug though and hope it rains for you so you don't have to dig thru that concrete anymore. Good Luck and HH.
