XT70 and a silver quarter

Got out with the XT70 today, the more I use this machine the more impressed I become, the target separation is extremely good.

The quarter, a 1946-D, was found between to pull tabs, the bent penny, a wheat penny, was found next to an iron target.

Rare Occassion

I won't do this often, in fact rarely will I show my older finds, but I made a trip to the safe deposit box today, so before I went I decided to make a photograph of some my silver / finds.

btw, the large cent and bar token came from a Wisconsin.

If you look close at the large cent there is a small nick on the bridge of the nose, the one buffalo didn't far as well. Chalk that up to lessons learned. The coins come out of the ground in Wisconsin in great shape, the sandy loam really preserves the coins well.

The quarter in the upper part of the photograph toned in a heart beat after coming out of the ground, I am not really sure why as it came out of the ground in beautiful shape. Maybe the soap I used, the pollution in the air around here or leaving it on the mantel.

The V-nickel I attempted to clean with a polishing cloth, another mistake, only the high spots shine up. Lessons learned, clean with soap and water and leave them alone.

Silver Quarter

A little close up of the quarter I picked yesterday. Talk about nice shape for being in the ground. Almost makes one wonder if this quarter wasn't lost in early 1963. Now I really need to get in and work this area much slower. Hopefully next weekend !!!

Silver Quarter

Got to the lake today. Been a busy week with little time to swing a detector.

A beautiful day this Easter Sunday, although overcast all day, the wind has stopped and the temp reach almost 60 degrees. Been working a different park at the lake, lots of trash as always, but the nice thing about this park is nothing is very deep. In fact the quarter was found at just over an inch deep. 6 pennies, the nickel and all 3 dimes lay on top of the ground, a pocket dump from this past week I am guessing.

Needless to say I will return to this park !!

Btw, the quarter is a 1963 D and in beautiful shape...............

Total take: 9 pennies, 1 nickel, 3 dimes and a silver quarter !!
