Got home from work a bit early and went for another quick dig. I walked the wagon trails again and a perfect 93 caught my ear. Dug the plug, and the first thing I saw was that eagle looking back at me and I knew exactly what I had. I nearly had a heart attack!

This is my oldest quarter, and only my second seated coin in seven years. My other is a slick dime, and I have been hoping for a nicer example.

Finding Seated on the Canadian prairie is a real challenge so I am thrilled with this coin!

That's great finding it out on the prairie. There must have been a bump in the road! What a nice coin. Your post gets me excited to get out!! Conrats!

Thanks, I was hoping a gold coin got "bumped" out as well, still looking.

Giant congrats JC. That's a stunning coin! I have yet to find a seated coin.

If that was in one of my holes, I'd fall over grasping my chest!

Oh Tom, I certainly had to focus on getting the heart rate down after digging this coin!

Let's just say I'm glad my new underwear arrived from Amazon.com just a few hours before I went out digging.

Thank you loco, I know they are very tough to find even in America, and I realize I may never find another.

It's getting so ridiculous how I still can't find a WALKER! Lol

Congrats on the old silver! Never got an 93, must be nice to ear too ;) Seeing your fields, you did very well and others must be waiting for your pinpointer ;)
