Went out again with Bilt46 to the woods lookin for some silvers and was rewarded for my efforts BIGTIME!!!! I got a bouncy signal that went from quarter to iron so I quickly dug my plug and at 6 inches out pops this bad boy!!! When I say the date and the mint mark I knew it was a great find.!!!

Now THAT'S a quarter!! and she's the hottest one I've ever seen from the woods  That's a tuff call. Jon's has a little less wear in some of the raised areas such a ladies head but the key date of Kermit's is unmatched. Regardless that one hell of a SLQ. WTG Kermit! |

Way to go Kermit! Three awesome quarters in three consecutive hunts. You can't ask for more. I'm sure that 1800's silver is just around the corner. !

Awesome Job Fiend! That Quarter should be a banner find! It may not be the find of a lifetime, but it is definitely the find of at least a decade. Sure beats a merry widow. |

Great Video! It's great to see it on video especially when it's a great coin like that. It's something you can look back at when our memory starts to fail us, you can watch it happen all over again. |

Thanks again everyone!!! I am just digging the iffy signals that most people skip right over. I really wasn't expecting on actuially finding a silver when I dug this particular signal, but it sounded like a rusty nail signal (thud-squeeek, thud-squeek, thud squeek, thud-squeak) I figured that maybe if im lucky it will be a dime or something next to a nail. I am working on SLOOOOOWING my swing WAAAAAAY down to a snals pace so I can compete with everybody else at the Chicago parks. |

Wow, that is a great coin Kermit. This forum has found 3 of those in great shape in the last year or so. I wonder what the odds of that is considering those coins wear down so quick. TMAN...
