I'M JUST AMAZED AT WHAT I FOUND TODAY! A 1856 SEATED HALF ABOUT 10 INCHES DEEP AND GAVE OFF A IFFY SIGNAL. I'M SO GLAD I DUG HER UP . MEET UP WITH SKINNYPUPPY,L4S AND D-DUB , THEY ALL HAD SOME GREAT FINDS TOO. I'LL POST MY OTHER FINDS LATER!
I'll reply later when you post something good....Ahh forget about it, I can't wait...
Holy Mother of GOD! That's a Banner find if I ever saw one. Please tell me you'll post this on Today's finds also. We need to get Illinois back up on the board.
Wish I was there to see that puppy come out of the ground after 150 years.
BIG congrat's Mike!!! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy!
Mike, that's just beautiful! I know what iffy seated at 10" sounds like What a thrill! HUGE CONGRATS, HIGH FIVES and BOOYAHS for unearthing some real treasure there!!! Someone was really unfortunate to lose that back in the day, but I think you're even more fortunate finding it today.
I don't think I'll post what my "iffy signals" resulted in today.
Mainly because after about 16 inches down into one hole I gave up, and the other one was looking the same so I stopped after about 10 inches. The deeper hole may have been right through the middle of a barrel hoop!

Re: A BIG SEATED SURPRISE!
007,
Congratulations on your unreal find and for making it to the banner! I cannot imagine what I'd do if I found something like that. Just unreal (not unreale, in which case it would also apply).
