SLQ found by F75 this week

[Coin Rescue Inc]

The F75 and I teamed up Thursday evening and discovered an old quarter at a location of an old demo'd building within 10 yards of an old tree. SETTINGS, DE, 70 sensitivity, zero descrimination, 1 notch, Dp tone, 5" coil. Seems I get lucky around old trees with wide trunks indicating age. Usually 30" or more are reaching that 100 year mark. If you can see the roots branching out you can assume the ground around the tree has been stable over the years.
I found a 3ft diameter Oak this morning that appears to have the surrounding dirt filled in. You could no longer see the root bundle. I confirmed this by locating and digging aluminum bottle caps and memorial pennies 8"
deep. So in this area one would be concentrating on items way deeper

A silver ring I found last Satuday.
The F75 is working pretty good for me if I listen closely.
Later......

I noticed you can't read the date on that quarter, I found one last fall and the date was worn off it also, seems like the design promotes fast wear on the date. Nice find!

A little history I read.
They were produced from 1916 to 1930.
On he original coin the woman was bare breastfed and that did not go over well. So soon they made a change and she was wearing chain male. Also on the reverse the original had no stars under the eagle. Later coins have 3 stars under the eagle.
The date on the coin was in a vulnerable postion, too high so it took the brunt of rubbing. Buffalo nickels and walking libertys we're the same.

I'm jealous...

I haven't found any coins like that. Couple of silver dimes and quarters but that's about it. I hunt parks for the most part, my chances of snagging something like that would be shear luck on top of shear luck

Hopefully some day I'll get a nice old private patch to swing on and a few of these babies will be waiting!

Congrats again! HH, diggindad
