a new spot produces a few oldies and a first for me

Ron 71 · Sep 11, 2020

It's been a little while since I last posted any finds but I just had to post this slick little dateless beauty.
This new (to me) spot is fairly small so it was surprising how fast it gave up some pretty old coins,
I was there for a few hours and pulled a SLQ, (my first), 2 IHPs, a dateless Buff, and 4 Wheaties, Not too shabby!
The IHPs are complete toast but I don't mind, they're fun to find.

I hope you all have a great weekend and stay safe out there!

Sorry about the pics, I hope to get better at resizing them.

It used to be an open field at one time but now has 3 baseball diamonds and a tot lot that are all fenced off, you can't hunt the ballfields, just a L shaped piece left, probably less than 1.5 football fields. Small but still plenty of area left to go over.

Well done with all those good recoveries! Those worn down SLQs have character and probably some good stories to go with them too.

That SLQ may be a bit worn but still a beauty Ron. Attaboy on a tough find and congrats on the Ihps, wheats and Buff. Looks like you have yourself a pretty good spot. I would imagine there would be more there. Good luck, Mark

Great little spot you've found. Maybe it has been overlooked because of the modern development on it.

The slq and indians prove there has to be more there.

SLQ is a real nice coin to find, and the slick ones make it even better when it has a date!

MTtrashdigger · Sep 12, 2020

Nice bunch of treasure Ron! I hope to dig an SLQ some day.

CTpilgrim · Sep 12, 2020

Heck of a day there! The SLQ still eludes me, hopefully someday I’ll get lucky. Congratulations

Awesome finds Ron, I have only recovered 2 standers since I started, and they were inches apart from each other. One was slick, one was a 1928. They are some tough coins to find for sure, and one of my favorite designs! Big congrats, and good luck when you get back out there!

Thanks Gimmie! I think your right, I really didn't even want to stop to hunt it, Even the tot lot hadn't been hit, coins everywhere!

Those dateless SLQ's are still cool. Congrats on the finds and your first SLQ.
