1877 Carson City seated live dig, 8-point antler find & buckle and a what's it?

I got out to the area I visited yesterday. It's such a distance I only got 1-1/2 hours on the ground. But I dug a few keepers and a bucket lister. A Carson City mintmark has always eluded me. Granted living in New Jersey doesn't help my cause but I've dug over 400 silver coins and none have been CC's.

Anyway also scored a beautiful antler just sitting there on the ground. That was a first.

Also does anyone know what this is?

And a rarity, the live dig seated. If you don't like curses I suggest you don't watch it.





Enjoy

Steve

Wow, cool man. Thanks for the ID. I would have never guessed that in a million years!

Hulk Smash ground.

Gotta be a bit more careful about rubbing the coin too. It puts permanent scratches in it when it's dirty. Hulk Rub Coin!

Lol. That was some ground smashing right? Just roots and forest bed all the way down. Don't worry yourself too much, I was careful and dug a wide berth and didn't rub hard.

Great finds man, didnt read anything you wrote so I think you found antlers minted in Carson City, awesome find!!!

 

[against the wind]

Great find Scrappy,,
Are you feeling like spending that seated at the grocery store??
Got an address?? lol
Congrats on the yes yes mint mark

 

[The Aluminum Monster]

Awesome! Beautiful coin and a CC? Great stuff, man. I am hoping this is the year I find my first seated. Congrats!

 

[cache finder]

Wow, great find! I live closer to CC than you and have only found a handful of them! (none worth the big $$)

 

[Tom Bigbee]

According to the mintages that year we are more likely to dig a 'CC' than an 'S' but since I have never dug a 'CC' either all I can do is admire yours!

 

[treblehunter]

And you said my sweatpants were dirty! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa, your an animal, I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that shovel lol
You make me so jelly, but I'm really happy for you! Congrats buddy!

P@tch is that one of those Graeham Parking brakes? What kind of wagon? Bandwagons??

 

[creade]

Awesome coin Love the video That's how I feel 90% of the time,lot of roovts up here in NH.Thats usually where most of my good stuff is! That wagon brake is pretty cool too I've found those before,I had no idea.Is that a rosette in the top left?

 

[Carolina Tom]

Congrats on the CC Scrappy. I did not see that in the pic you sent... but who looks for that anyway, since it is NEVER there.

Very well played my man. You are something else!

 

[Bill D. (VA)]

Nice going on the cc Steve. I don't think I'll ever find one of those down here, especially since Carson City was not one of the colonial mints . Thanks for the call earlier too.

 

[cjon455]

Awesome seated steve, but can I make 1 suggestion?

GLOVES

Lol awesome group of finds!

 

[gwdigger]

Great digs. My wife & I found 3 antlers on a recent exploration trip, 2 right beside each other and look to be from a matching set. BIG UNS.

 

[PaDirtDigger]

Very cool! Still waiting on finding a seated!! And then a CC mint, even sweeter. Btw, I'm one of your lone 4 subs.
