Joined The Seated Club Today x 2 :)

[Seener53]

So today I finally joined the seated club!!! I've been on a super lucky streak for the past 3 weeks getting a lc, walker, 3 golds and 27 other silvers. Started out today with 297 silver coins for the year. I've been trying to get a seated coin all year. And today it happened twice!!! We hunted an old abandoned park from the mid 1850s thanks to mr. Needle n haystacks invitation. Place was loaded with nails upon nails and good signals very scarce. So the first hour and a half I must of dug a dozen bent nails and a few bullets so I decided to check out the other side of the road which had some downed trees. Same story more nails but by a fallen tree I got a nice steady 12-45 at 7" popped the plug but target was still in the hole. Scooped out some more dirt with my hand and Boom a silver disk! Picked it up and through the dirt I see a sitting liberty
So after dancing for a few minutes as this is my first seated I started swinging again and more nails. About 15 minutes went by and by another downed tree I got a 16-37 signal dug it and popped out an Indian. Scanned next to the hole and got a 12-41 dug it and Boom another seated! This one was well worn so I was able to smear off the dirt to see the date of 1874. Scanned the hole and another chirp, cut some more dirt of the sidewall and anther Indian appeared. So another happy dance
After about 2 more hours of no good targets came across a bouncy 12-35 but repeating signal, dug it up and another green Indian appeared. I also found a 1981 memorial for a total of 6 coins for the day, but 5 were keepers. I didn't know the date of the first seated till the end of the hunt as I did not want to scratch it, it's an 1890s. Thanks to Needle n haystack once again for inviting me.
























Thanks for reading and HH

Thanks for the story/pics, that's amazing. Still waiting for my first seated..

Hey looks like from your profile pic that you got a Morgan which is so much harder to find than a seated. So the seated should be a piece of cake

Luckily, I found that Morgan in the same hole with 2 Barber halves....in Canada believe it or not!! My area wasn't settled until the late 1890's, so finding any seated is going to be a longshot. Again, sweet dimes you found!!

I think I'll start a new saying: Instead of saying, find the wheats and silver will soon follow...

The new saying is: Find the Indianheads and Seateds will soon follow. Nice Job man.
