I went up to the mountains today; I've learned lots of old trails where the ghost towns are. I usually can't get into any of the ghost towns because they're on private land, so today I just walked up and down an old road just for kicks. I was searching the bigger trees, and lo and behold I got an absolutely beautiful signal right under an old pine. I knew right away it was a coin, and a big one too from the wonderful signal I had (what a great feeling!). A minute later I had an 1875 seated half! Too bad the coin is in such bad shape, but it cleaned up pretty decently, and it's a keeper!

Wow, Great find, coincidently I found an 1875 Seated half also, my best Coin find to date.
Congratulations
 

GREAT find....have found a franklin and a liberty half, but no seeated or bust halves(halfs?) yet myself...ANY old silver is a super find regardless of the shape its in.

That is a great coin and a really great find!! I've gotten to the point I hunt around every old tree I see. The oldest I've found so far is a '43 merc, but I'm still hunting. And around old trees seem to be good spots.

:o :o Super Find, Franks: Hopefully, the next one is a nice Bust Half! Did you check real good around that tree & the area? It may have been a Picnic area? Good Luck!

Beautiful find!!! And actually that's a good lesson for all of us. Silver is where you find it. It doesn't all migrate to schools and parks.
I think I would adopt that tree. If I couldn't take it home and replant it in my yard, I would see to its welfare. WTG!!! HH
 

That is some sweet silver!

Very nice find . Good idea to hunt along the old roads near the ghost towns. Anything traveled as much as that is bound to produce some good finds and you just proved it!
 

Nice find there. I love those sweet signals at the base of a tree.... ;)
