Did a quick after work hunt at my neighbor’s 1830’s farm today. Got a flat button, multiple penny’s, 1901 Barber and a 1846 Silver Dollar. They must have used the dollar on a necklace. I found my first silver coin on this same farm last year. Not bad for a short hunt. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1561766988.655743.jpg

An 1846 silver dollar? Holy hell man! That is unbelievable. You know that no one ever finds Seated dollars right? Awesome!!!

Thanks. I actually didn’t know that it is a rare find. I have to admit to not knowing much about coins yet. I was excited to find it.

I have been detecting for 17 years and have never found a silver dollar and I have found over 120,000 coins. Any silver dollar is a great find, but a SEATED DOLLAR is stupendous . Way to go, that is a great day. That farm is a great permission and might hold a lot of other nice surprises. Keep swingin and keep us posted.

Thought I would add some better pictures. Anyone have advice on cleaning it? I did give it a light toothpick cleaning. Would you leave it as is or try to clean it further? ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1561777913.197070.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1561777925.213613.jpg

Kind of a nonchalant post for finding a Seated Dollar- I can't recall ever seeing one posted- Big Congrats!
