Sunday's Silver

[Mark in S.E. IA]

I found everything in the pic at one small park, all the other places I checked out I didn't find anything good.

The I.W.L.A lapel pin is Izaal Walton League of America and is from the 30's or 40's. I can find brass ones on the Net but not silver ones.

All the stuff I found there was between 4" to 5" deep. The SLQ and the ring come in at 12-47. The 2 dimes was a coin spill and they also come in at 12-47
I thing the other ppl that metal detected this place in the past had their upper numbers notched out. I didn't see any other reason why they was missed, like iron in the hole.

Thanks guys.

Also the date on the SLQ is 1918 S

Great quarter Mark. Those are hard to find these days.
I really like that silver pin.

 

[sunraysux]

awesome Mark....tougher one to get for sure...and in really pretty condition
looks like FINE to me from afar....
be sure to really examine the 8 in 1918!!
possibly a restrike over the 1917 date which would make her a truly rare bird!!

That quarter is in great shape. That is one coin that I haven't found yet, but hope to someday.

 

[CZconnoisseur]

Wow that's a fine Standing quarter! I'm sure you checked it for the super-duper 1918/7 variety...if so that's a monster! Great digs!

 

[diggervance]

Great hunt Mark!
Keep it up

Bet your heart skipped a few beats there a couple of times.

Thanks for the heards up on the 1918/7s but mines not the good one, but it's still a nice find.

Thanks for the comments.

 

[cz70pro]

Awesome finds. That SLQ and pin would have definitely made my day.

 

[oneguy]

[Sooper Dave]
