Still on a rush about this one hours later...I had permission to hunt this 1800s house for many weeks, but was going to a number of other sites and this place had a really small yard, so I kept driving by figuring I'd hit it sooner or later...finally I stopped today. I had gotten a clad quarter after doing about 3/4 of the yard, then got a good signal and dug only about 3 inches and saw the back of a nice silver that I thought was a barber quarter, which made me pretty happy. When I flipped it over and saw the seated lady and the stars I was "YEAHH!!!" I finally found my first seated and it's a nice quarter. Called Earthworks, Skunemonk and texted Goingdown, then emailed Hollowpointred (dude, why does your phone not take calls or messages?). Anyway, it was a major rush, and as crappy as I dig not being careful, so glad I didn't gouge it. Earthworks picked it up and took these great photos. What a rush is all I can say, and, it turns out there's a long sideyard of grass that goes along the main street in town next to this house, which I'll be hitting in the next couple of days. I have a feeling that there could be more there. Amazing stuff to finally get that first seated after all these years. Bergie (and it wasn't lost on me I found this on Veteran's Day and this was probably lost during the Civil War.)
