Hello fellow collectors,

Some of us had that fortunate find.  I had that chance when I was about 12 years old.  I was trout fishing with my father and mother; it was the first day of trout season.  I'm about 2 hours into fishing that day and not catching anything that day.  I finally had it and put my fishing rod down and called it quits.  So being the little explorer I am, I decide for some unknown reasons to pick up rocks along the creek, looking for small critters under the rocks.  I remember picking up this rock along the creek and to my surprise under the rock was a 1946 Washington quarter.  Why it was under a rock, I have no idea.  Although not worth much today, back then it was a big deal finding a quarter under the rock.  I remember my father explaining to me it was a silver quarter.  I'm now 40 years old and I still have that quarter to this day.  Although the quarter is not worth much, to me it was a priceless find and to me it was a fortunate find at that time.

Happy Collecting!!
