On my way to a site that I was going to detect I came across an estate sale, so I decided to take a look. They didn't have anything that I wanted except for some extension ladder guard bumpers that I got for a dollar.
Before I left I asked permission to detect the yard and got a yes. I thought for sure that I'd score some silver on this mid-fifties home site, but it didn't happen. As I was loading up I saw a guy out in his yard across the street, so I went over there to see if I could get permission to detect his yard. He was nice and said have it. Again I came up empty.
I decided to go back to the last site that I detected where I found those 3 silver dimes and all those wheat pennies to see what else I could unearth. I finally cornered a 1954 silver quarter and few more wheat pennies before giving up on that site.
As I was heading home I stopped at another site that I've detected before to give it another going over. After a lot of swinging I got a nice sweet high tone and the VDI numbers were floating upward to the mid-fifties. I wasn't sure if it was a silver dime or a quarter, but whatever it was it was under a big root. I had to dig down beside the root to get to the coin. It turned out to be a slick Standing Liberty. I don't know how I ever missed that one when I first hunted the yard, but I sure did.
