Yes thats what I feel like doing for the lovely lady I found today. For I had not found a silver quarter until today. Diane and I decided to go out to an old school yard near us the same one Doug found the 25 S Merc the other day. My first target was sort of bouncy there was a good target surrounded by junk but by following a tip Nick gave me by doing quarter turns around the spot I was able to get readings that made me want to dig it. It is a early Standing Liberty Quarter, it has no date but because of the lack of stars underneath the Eagle and the beadwork over her head I know she is a 1917 Type 1 MacNeil's Liberty Standing Design. My first silver quarter and a dandy one to find.
