Washington Quarter Spill, Skeleton Key and more

We started out this afternoon at a house built in the 1890s. I dug a pretty cool skeleton key with nice green patina and a 1952 Rosie. Alec dug a 1917 Merc. We did a couple more small houses, but got nothing but clad and Wheats.

Just as we were leaving town, we spotted a gorgeous old house with a pretty large lawn. We stopped, got permission and started to hunt. I wasn't on the lawn more than 2 minutes, and I got a 12-41 at 8" . I thought I was digging a wheat but out pops a 1964 Washington. I re-swept the the plug and got another 12-41. Ok, now I'll dig the wheat. So I open up the plug, scoop some more dirt out and out pops another 1964 Washington. That's the first Silver quarter spill for me.

About 20 minutes later, Alec got a nice high tone and dug a 1951 Washington quarter. We dug 12 wheats today as well.

It seems like we both got a little reckless with our diggers today.

That's a awful good silver day. If your going to scratch coins '64 washingtons are the ones to knick. Nice Hunts. WD

That skeleton key is a beauty! Congrats on all the silvers also!!!

Nice silver spill Don 5 silvers in one day between two of you is not to shabby.....Nice looking skeleton key:congrats:

Great bunch of silvers but that key was the "key" to the hunt....love it.

Don, would that key have been a "blank?" I remember as a kid our house still used those. Not that I'm old:lol: Nice going!

you are really of to a great start looks like a great hunt 5 silvers are hard to top for one hunt

Wow! Love that key Don. And nice job blasting some silver too.

A couple of seasons ago it took me till December to get a silver quarter. And it was a '64 at that!
And here you guys bang out 3 in one hunt!
It just go's to show how unpredictable this hobby can be. :lol:
Nice finds guys!
Congrats! :grin:
And I love the key! :loveit:

Great silver haul Gents, congrats on the quarter spill! That key is sweet!

I love when silver looks like the back to that '51. You been gettin a bunch of silver lately. I wouldn't mind if I am being fooled by the reading and out pops a few silvers, but those fooling signals are usually junk.

Congrats on the spill and all the silver. Cool looking key, WTG.

Way to go Don. Silver quarter spill...I can't say I've come anywhere close to digging something like that!
