Hi Folks
Have not posted any finds since early last spring as most of my hunting is done in farm fields. Researched a few places this summer when it was really hot around here, needless to say they didn't pan out. Since the crops are being picked I went back to an old campmeeting grounds I had pretty good luck at in the past. The finds are harder to come by but if you work it slow and take your time you can still find a little. Found 3 seated dimes 1854,1875,1876,one Barber Quarter 1914 and one 1902 Indian head. The 1876 is one of the better detailed seated I have found. The 1875 was totally black and was found in a low spot in the field, I believe it must have been in a wet spot over the years. had to use silver polish on it to get any detail. The Indian is one of the better ones I have found here as most of them I find are eaten up by fertilizers. Found with CZ-3D with owner's permission. Thanks for looking.
