Sunny and 68 degrees makes for very pleasant detecting conditions! :yes:

I started out early this morning and tried two old parks that I had never been to before but they were both a bust, not even a lone wheat cent. So I decided to go back to the park where I found the 2 Barber Dimes a few weeks ago.

Today at this park I ended up with 3 Indian Heads, 15 Wheat Cents, 4 Mercury Dimes, 1 Rosie and 1 Standing Liberty Quarter. It was a really fun day.


Today's finds:
6072760728


Nine of the Wheat Cents are from the teens:
60729


This 1896 Indian Head and 1910 Wheat Cent were together in the same hole:
6073060731



Six silvers today:
60732


I was super excited to find an SLQ! Too bad I scratched the obverse slightly. At first I thought it was dateless, but under magnification I can tell that it is a 1920-S.

This marble was in the hole with the 1917-S Merc:

Thanks for looking and happy hunting! :beerbuddy:

Is that even a partial fingerprint by the 0 in 1920? Nice bit of silver. Just waiting to pull some out of the ground myself.

Glad to see you had some great luck Tony. Congrats on all those early mercs too. The marble is awesome. A SLQ is always a great find. Best wishes and HH, Dave.
