We have been finding tons of seated coins at on of our permissions. What do you think the reason is? Location? Check out our YouTube channel “Blazing Shovels Metal Detecting” and watch the videos that have “Seated” in the title and see if you can figure out why there are so many seated coins in this particular location. Would like some ideas if you have any about it. Thank you. youtube.com/c/blazingshovelsmetaldetecting A91E9F01-9346-4F0E-A231-24B6B1D82D19.jpeg

Maybe you stumbled on a old trading post or gathering spot where people needed money? I have yet to find any seated coin. I have a few permissions lined up over the next few months that might change that but, for now i can only dream and say congratulations on finding an awesome area to detect!

Seated coins are fake and don't exist and you are all a bunch of lying photoshopping liars!
