Coin Porn...3 silvers and "almost" a Rare Canadian Quarter

[Buellride]

So, nobody wanted to go out today with me...so between the rain in the PNW, I found a moment to hunt a few curbstrips and a church that was under-going some renovations. All told it was barely 2.5 hours. Started at 0910 today and hunted curbstrips that I have hunted numerous times before, turned the corner of the street and kept going (talked to a few workers on a house at the corner about potentially hunting their contracted property but no joy)...after about 30 feet from that discussion with the workers I got a good signal right at the edge of the street/curbstrip....what pops out but a 1907 Canadian Silver (Sterling) quarter!...kept on going and found a wheat or two. Then I turned the corner on a church that has been very good to me in the past, there was a worker there that indicated his organization has purchased the church to turn it into communal housing.....he have me permission to hunt the church property. Immediately I found a 1947D Rosie, soon after I found a 1919S Mercury Dime. Today was going very well!!!

Then the rain started coming and I decide to not be greedy and pack it in for the day.

2+ hours hunting: 1907 Canadian Silver Quarter, 1919S Mercury Dime, 1947D Rosie and 2 Wheats (pre-1947)....ALL GOOD!! 30 Silvers for the year!!!

HH and GL all!!!

Thanks Tom....No Large Cent here but I was happy to see a Canadian quarter

Nice Paul! Was there much ground left at that church to hunt, if so I don't doubt you are going back! Love the older Canadian coins, very nice!

Sorry I couldn't at least have been there to witness the recoveries. Big congrats on another stellar day with the shiny. Keep adding to your numbers!

Thanks David, it pales in comparison to your luck in Lewiston, but I was happy for 3 in 2 hours :-)

Yep, plenty good for 2 hours! Hope to get out Friday and possibly Saturday here, then taking about 10 days off to head south for some warm weather!

Thanks Mark! I don't dig a lot of Canadian coins, but I will definitely take this one!

Congrats on a three silver day - especially love the Canadian quarter - a rare find. Keep pounding those curbstrips. Best of luck on future hunts.

Well done on the silvers. Hit that place again. Congrats.

Thanks Hoser, I may, but that Church has been hit by me so many times, the only difference was I was able to hunt a 3' x 10' section this time (the 2 dimes) but the rest has been crushed over the years.

Congrats on a three silver day - especially love the Canadian quarter - a rare find. Keep pounding those curbstrips. Best of luck on future hunts.

HH1, a 3 silver day is pretty good, I would love to start to repeat 5+ silver days but I think some of those days are long gone. But for 2 hours, I will take 3 silvers :-)
