I haven't had a chance to dig, post or read what you guys have been posting lately. Working way to much and no play time to dig :'(. Finally got a chance to get out and it turned out to be a Great Day. I've been to this site a few times with no luck at all. This site has been cleaned out pretty good but going real slow let me sneak out a couple more goodies. I was swinging the coil for about two hours, ready to give up after only finding some clad. I was heading back to the car when I picked up a decent signal, I filmed the dig hope you enjoy.

You found a great one there- there were only 228,000 1873-s (with arrows) minted! Congratulations, this one is definitely banner worthy! Its also great that you were able to film the dig.

Wow, that is a great dug Seated half. The 1873-s is a scarce, but not Rare, date in the series. It gets expensive in better grades.
