Final muster. The large cent is only discernible by the “ONE CENT” and wreath outline on the reverse. There were only a couple wheat cents recovered, opposed to the 22 Memorial coppers found, which I find surprising by the number of silvers pulled out. Lots of clad also recovered. The two pendants were found by a street side sidewalk running along the property - large yard with a house built in 1912. The SLQ is remarkably preserved, found just down a small slope from the side of the property to the street.
Had a couple hours to burn this morning so I thought I’d try to finish what I started on Thursday. I focused swings on the remaining unsearched portion of the front yard down to the sidewalk and the (rather wide) curb strip along the street. The strip is wide enough to allow for large, mature trees that have obviously been there many decades. It was among the roots of one of the trees that the first silver made the Manticore start pinging. I had to struggle with a stubborn root to finally extricate:
A bit later, close to the street curb, the Manticore started singing @ 82-83, with a crisp, tight signature… and I thought to myself - “There’s my dime.” And sure enough:
Rolled out of work a bit early this afternoon with intent to do some sidewalk/curb detecting just down the street from the 1912 build I scanned last week & weekend.
Final muster - bonus find turned out to be another Large Cent, Matron Head type. You can make out the obverse portrait on this one, unlike the one I found the week prior. The date is mostly gone, and the reverse is barely hanging on. Earliest wheatie is dated 1917. First time recovering both a Standing Lib quarter and a large cent on the same day two times within @ week of each other.

Keep it swingin’!
Nice haul of silver. How long were you out swinging?
The missus had to work, so I was out swingin’ most of the morning… from 0700 to @ noon.

Final muster - the earliest wheatie is dated 1919-D:
A little more curb time before the Nor’Easter starts making a play on the mid-Atlantic this morning.
