WOHOOOOOO STANDING TALL

For the last several days, I have this one thought constantly pop into my head, go to this beach...go to this beach... well, me and my arm all wrapped up in two braces went.. I figured, heck, I will go a short time so I dont hurt myself any worse..  all this took place in 10 minutes.. I got there... stood looking and turned to the rite side of the beach, high tide it was, but I was in such withdrawl it wasn't funny, so the tide didnt matter. I had even said to my hubby.. I got to go to this beach..I got a feeling... well, I dug my first hole, I find a severally worn down Indian head nickel..so worn you can barely see it... I was thrilled... My second hole, I get that high pitched sweet sound of silver... I start to dig..and what do I see, but the backside of a beautiful standing liberty... I LITERALLY stood up..and did a jig on the beach.. I was sooooooo excited it wasn't funny.. me, by myself, dancing round the beach, yelling YAY me...    then I calmed down real fast as the van, with the west Va. tags was watching me.. I thought, oh great  and here I am jumping like a fool...so inside I was a busting all over... it was great..MY FIRST STANDING LIBERTY... so my time was up as I was hurting..jumped in my car. locked the doors like I found this huge cache..and grabbed the cell to tell my hubby... his reply was..  YOUR  s &$*(&$ me.. said NOPE I GOTS IT...  so finally I am doing better...thinking, where did they all hang out years n years ago... I am so very proud of myself and what a rush... She may not be purdy to look at and ya cant see her date, but to me she is the most beautiful thing I ever saw..and she's MINE... 
thanks for listening...

Way to go Booty!

It's been a long time since I found one of those in any type of condition.
Keep it up!

HEY! way to go!!!! i knew some silver was headed your way! looks like a good beach! that coin has been rolling around in the surf for a loooong time!

Congratulations on the Great find!  Looks like 08' is going to be your year.

I just knew that you would prevail.
I told you so.

WOW! Really NICE!!!

It's on MY list...I WANT ONE PLEASE!

Congrats,  Joe

Congrats on that wonderful lady you found. I guess we should all listen to those voices more often. 

Whoa - nice booty bayby!

Great find. I'm curious as to the worth of such a coin?

Great find. I'm curious as to the worth of such a coin?

It is "Worth" bullion value only.  Most dealers are paying 9-10 X Face value for scrap 90% silver coins.

Naturally, to the finder of this coin, it is "Worth" MUCH MORE.   ;)

     Congrats on that SLQ!

due to its highly wore state say 8 to 9 times face --so 2 to 2.25 cash money for scrap silver price -- but the standing liberty quarter is your first "big" silver find is priceless -- when you get "those" hunch's follow them -- you be surprized how often they pay off -- its kind of like a "hidden" dowsing gene some folks seem to have. ----their "drawn" at times to certain places or things -- hey how to salmon know its time to head back to that certain river to spawn? who knows but they do.

 there are times and places that seem "call" to me so to speak -- the pull can be very strong indeed -- if I don't find something in a spot like that its because I did not look correctly -- time and again I have had spots like that "payoff" -- I can't fully explain it to those who have never felt it before and don't need to tell those who have since they know. --- Ivan

this lil beauty is worth so much more to me, as shes truly my first one of this kind..... still on cloud nine here... and tickled pink.  Funny I had the thought in my head that I would of found a spanish coin.... humm next trip maybe.. but I sure will follow my gut instincts from now on.

Way to go Booty!!!  You go Girl. Date or not, she's a great find. Congrats to you.
I still haven't found an SLQ. 
Great job,
MM

You are right...pay attention to those whisperings in your ear.  That's what led me to a diamond ring...  Nothing superstitious, mind you, just the product of your unconcious mind...which is usually correct.

I still remember my first Standing Liberty Quarter, Where I found it and the year 1981. I still have her and wouldn't take nothing for her or the memory. HIGH FIVE way to go Booty

Way to go girl! I'm sooooo excited for you!!  Now if I can find one, we would both be tickled ^%#%^&* less!!  Way to follow your instinct!

HH,
Moon

OH yeah. Nice find Rae. Congrats.

                                               Congrats!

Way to go she is purty! I can't wait to find one, Still think its one of the best ways to start the New Year!

     Congrats!!

          Evy

Congratulations, Rae!!  I know just how you feel, you'll be on that cloud nine for months.  You'll never forget this day, too bad no one was around to get you on camera whooping and hollering and doing your happy dance.  Wonder just how many of the other T-Net females found a SLQ?

 ;) RR

rae,
   Way to go. Nice find, the kind that makes your heart pump extra hard. I am soooo happy for you. Too bad you didn't have more time to hunt while the 'window' is open. Hope your arm starts healing soon so you can get out there and load up on the silver. I am so happy for you.  HH  Highwater

Real nice Booty. I knew you'd start gettin' the hang of your new detector. WTG.

  Nice digs!! Keep up the good work!!

I knew you would get there in the end with the coin/s.  Not where I expected you would get it but who cares, it will be the first of many.

Huge congrats to you, bootybay, for finding your very first SLQ!  Many md'ers go their whole lives without finding one of those coins.  That is one find you will never forget.

Good luck on your return trip to that spot!

   Just teasin' about the beach.   Great find though.

congrats on a great find

ALLLRIGHT BOOTYBAY!!! Date or no date an SLQ is always a welcomed addition to the collection!! Hope you get many more!!! WTG, Bootstrap

Finding 85-plus-year-old silver gets rid of a lot of frustration, don't it?

Many people think that eagle is one of the best-looking Reverses of U.S. coins.  I know it looked good to you..
You found something that is still on a lot of people's wish lists.
That gets your '08 off to a great start, but go easy on that arm.

WOW way to go bootybay ! thats on my list to find  ;) congrats to you 

That is a way cool find and a fine piece of writing, I felt like I was right there when you found it. I am happy for you!!

Treasure the hunt

boy, you got that right... I was frustrated not finding much, the learning curve ( huge learning curve on the dfx) and what a thrill.... I will never forget this as long as I live..its embedded in my brain.. what a rushhhhhhhhh... and thank you all for the encouragement... and I have LOTS MORE TO FIND..and still lots to learn on my dfx..

oh heres my SL dance... lol 

Booty,
Great find...The SLQ is on my goals list for 2008.

I was planning on braving the elements yesterday and hitting the Jersey shore but then I started working on the house which turned into a 9am to 9pm project.  I guess I should get all the house work done in the cold months so I have more free time during the warmer months.

sounds like a solid plan -- use your bad weather no hunt time to work , and good weather time to MD --- very logical

 That a great find and it seems like you just started. You caught on quickly, thanks for sharing.

 HH

Remember, all SLQ are nice to look at.  Copngrats, I've only found two myself, and they both look good....
