Today I was waiting to pick up my vehicle from the dealer, so rather than hang around I headed to a park not far from the dealership. Better to go detecting than sit in a stuffy show room watching TV and eating donuts. :cheesysmile: While at the park I picked up two silver quarters, a 1942 Washington and a 1920 Standing Liberty. She is a bit tarnished, but still pretty. :smitten:

You have a one track mind :lol: detecting :thumbsup01: But a real nice way to spend the time. I hate dealerships and the 4 hour waits :rolleyes: Nice SLQ and a real nice old button. :shocked04: Probably colonial or close to it if it's a one piece.

I can't help it.:lol: The four hour wait was well invested. :cheesysmile: Yeah, the button is one piece. :yes: The site could very likely yield some older silver too. :drool:

Nice... way to squeak a little more detecting time in.

Do you have a running total on silver face value? At $21 an oz., you must have a small fortune you have recovered from the ground.

Congrats.
