A couple of keepers

[jkress]

Finally got back out for a nice hunt today. Tried a two new parks that turned out to be duds. But, found a third on the way home
that gave up a silver quarter and IH.
After about 3 hours of hunting, it was very nice to see a silver rim in the plug. :happydance01:

It was a tough day and I had hoped for more keepers, but hunts like this are what make the good ones fun.
Usually a Merc shows up late to save the hunt, but today I was very happy to see a bigger 'hunt saving' silver edge. :yes:

Hey Joe, I just love seeing those silver Washingtons come out of the ground. And yet another beautiful IH. And hey, that third park will probably give up more next time too! Nice hunt :happydance01:

Thanks Angie. I am definitely planning a return trip. Pulling in and firing up my machine for a test drive was already pushing borrowed time. Didn't have much time for the sampling, but I quickly found enough to get me back there soon. :yes:

Is there anything more beautiful than the sight of a silver rim in the plug? :smitten:

It's nice to know there are still silver quarters out there to be found in public parks. That alone would have made my day, but that sharp looking Indian Head is just icing on the cake!

Nice finds and great photos, Joe! :clapping:

Thanks Tony. Most of my park silvers are dimes, so getting anything bigger definitely makes me smile.

Why yes, there is... the sight of two silver rims in the plug. :drool: You are right though, seeing that silver edge in the dirt is exhilarating.
A sight I will never tire of seeing.

Sure, just head southwest... you'll hit Iowa eventually. lol We are fortunate to have IH friendly ground here in the midwest.
