Hit an old railroad camp today down by the river. These places are filled with old big iron like spikes, bolts, nuts, square nails. Hunting these areas are not for the feint of heart. I dug well over 100 targets today in the dry heat, exausted. For people who dare these types of environments it can be rewarding. Found my first seated quarter this year. Pretty worn but still a seated.

What area in Colorado are you in ? I haven't figured out the picture bit either (despite the help section here ) but I would love to see your quarter

Anything you pull out of the ground is a great find Welgund!

I should take you to the place I go. Old rail yard area with scenery beyond description. I have yet to find a seated.

 

[Welgund]

Yeah, sun was bright here today when I set it on the coil for the picture. I live in southwest colorado in Delta.

I like that area of Colorado , my parents used to live in Ouray and Grand Junction . Keep up the nice silver finds !

Zooming in, looks like an 1858?

Seated coins dont come out of Colorado very often! Congrats on your silver! Hope you get some old permissions around there! Happy Hunting! Keep on those old sites I can't wait to see someone post a Colorado Railroad lock. I often go along the old tracks. At least when the site is old the targets are old. Good luck!

Deepseeker it's an 1853. To find the older silver in Colorado you do have to go to where it is possible to get it and railroad camps, mining camps etc are the best places if they had the activity. My town of Delta was incorporated in 1883 there about so old enough. Still most of the silver I find ar I understand here is Mercs and barbers etc. Last year I found 5 seated dimes, all in the 1880s around the old railroad camps. You have to work for them real hard though because down by the river where the camps were is where the duck hunters for the last 100yrs have left there shotgun headstamps dating from the late 1800s til now and there's a lot of them.

Congrats on the seated quarter

I admit railroad sights are pretty intimidating to me with all that iron beeping off. If you know the history of the sight though you may get a WINNER like your wonderful seated quarter. Of course you will be pulling loads of iron to get to the good stuff. Glad your tenacity paid off this day.
