Best field hunting day for me period! Got out to a new field bright and early. This site was gone before 1908, so I knew I wouldn't be digging modern crap. After finally finding the site, the first coin was a 1901 Indian. Next up was my third 2-cent of the year, a cooked 1865. A while passed and I snagged a nice 1832 Large Cent right on top of the ground. After getting that large cent I decided I would do a full dig on my video if I got another signal like that. The next row over I got a solid quarter signal really shallow. I popped out the camera and got a full dig of a super sweet 1877 CC Seated Half Dollar. This is my most fascinating find I have gotten. I've gotten seated half dimes, dimes, and quarters but never thought I'd scratch that one off the list. Now it was lunch time (to show the wife ).

Next field also was gone before 1908, so I was hoping for some more goodies before I called it for the day. I ended up getting a 186? fatty indian, an 1892 and 1875 Indians there. The find of the field was a very rare Civil War Store Card. I did a full dig on it because for some reason it came in as a silver quarter. Weird.

Enjoy the Video. The wind was howling and I didn't do a good job of blocking it. I apologize

Forgive my ignorance but, What do you mean when you say the field was gone? No longer in cultivation?

Nice find guy...haven't seen a seated half posted for a while....keep going back...there maybe some seated quarters or dimes.....

I would really hit that area pretty hard....grid north and south.....then I would grid east to west....there has to be more there.

Good luck...HH

That was a great hunt! Love that seated half and the store card. I wouldn't be surprised to see a CW button come out of there.
