Hey everyone,
Here are some finds from the last few hunts. A couple of the highlights were a key date 1923s SLQ and a Grand Army of the Republic medal from their 1912 encampment reunion in Los Angeles both found will hunting some lots with a buddy. The medal is as close as I will probably get to a real civil war relic here in SoCal and cool knowing a vet from the war had that at one point. Here is a link to the full badge: http://www.horsesoldier.com/products/veteran-memorabilia/12181 The SLQ was found in an old lot and was black and bent. I didn’t even see the S mintmark until I cleaned it.

I also found a few other silver coins, Sterling ring, a bunch of wheats and some relics.

Jason

Another super report Jason. That encampment Medal is real neat. You did a fantastic job on the clean up of the SLQ. The Sterling ring is a bit different. Still digging those cut Penny's I see. Congrats my friend on a wide variety of finds and still adding to the Silver count. Trapper

Great finds Jason! Awesome stander!

Thanks. Good spots, research and persistence is the key.
I like that stander! You got it clean, but how?

Thanks! I used the foil method and then used a baking soda paste. Does look great but better than the black covering it.
 
Congratulations on some beautiful keepers!
I hope you are not a Dodgers fan (said the Brewers fan...)
