WINNER #1
My favorite find for November 2011 is the 1857 Seated Liberty Silver Quarter.
This fine condition U.S. coin is actually the reward for a good deed. Tony R. from Council Bluffs, Indiana, saw a posting on Craigslist.com from a lady who lost a diamond ring in a specified area of a local park. Tony R. contacted the lady and received a reply saying the park had already been hunted out with a metal detector and her ring wasn’t found.
Tony headed for the park with his AT Pro, and within two days found numerous finds including the diamond ring matching the lady’s description. He returned that ring to a very happy woman who thought it was lost forever. During the search for the ring, Tony discovered an 1857 Seated Liberty Quarter, an 1867 Shield Nickel, a sterling silver ring, and lots of wheat pennies in a park that was “hunted out”.
A rewarding job well done Tony.
