NCtoad Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Sunday is my day to get out and detect and today I hit a permission that I’ve been going to for the last 3 or 4 sundays. This site has a 1890s house on it that’s about to get torn down. Up until last Sunday I’ve gotten three silver dimes, an IHP, a small 18k bracelet and around 15 wheats. Last Sunday I got a 1903 barber dime and a few wheats. Today I only got 1 wheat and a 1960 memorial, but I did get an interesting little sterling. I’m sure it’s some kind of military something or other. The place where I work is an old summer camp from 1928. Some days I’ll go in early and detect, but I’ve been over and over most of the high probability areas that might yield an old coin. Friday I hit an area where they used to have a camp fire. Found a little clad, but on the way back to the car right next to a parking area I got a nice sounding 30 that was pretty shallow. I thought for sure it would be a clad quarter, but out came a slick, no date SLQ! That made my day and put me at 52 fty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked with my 16x magnifier and back looks perfectly smooth. I was surprised that there wasn’t any pin or remnant of a pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
