Congrats on the fine coin! Amazing how it was so shallow... I look forward to the day when I get one.

What part of the country are you in?

Thanks to all for the encouragement !! Yes DJ , it did make my day !! I live in South San Francisco ,California . It is not a part of San Francisco but a different nearby city . I found the Seated here in "SSF". I'm a senior citizen and it was on my "bucket list". I thought I'd never find one .I've found a few coins that were considered harder to find but no Seated . Finally !!
Congrats to those who have found them
already and good luck to those who haven't . I litterally "went Bananas " when I saw what I had found !!
Rock on Nick!!
Yeah ,txkickergirl , I'm still on that cloud !!
Yeah Rob , 22 years , WOW !! I'll bet when you finally hit one you will be in a spot where you will find several more . METAL DETECTING CAN BE REALLY STRANGE SOMETIMES !! Thanks again all !!

Awesome find! Its a great feeling to dig up a tricky target in an area that was hit hard-- and then realize that it's something AMAZING. Hooray for being willing to dig a little bit of iron in order to get the good stuff.

 

[ivan salis]

those nails masked it all this time -- thats why you gotta get rid of the iron to find goodies at times. ;

Congrats,

Seateds are really nice to find. They don't come often enough though. I'm lucky if I get 1 a season. And I hunt hard and old and productive sites. They where held tightly in those times.

WTG. Which detector were u useing when u found the dime? D.D.

 

[curbdiggercarl57]

The stigma has now disappeared. You will find more and more of those lovely ladies, just rub the coin on your coil before you head out to detect. Congrates!

 

[MUD(S.W.A.T)]

Awesome job !

I love the seated coins....

Keep @ it and HH!

Mark +DD , I was using a Fisher F-75 with the stock 11" DD coil . The Separation due to the recovery speed is incredible !! Thanks to all for looking and posting . All you're comments on the Seated Liberty coin and detecting are right on !!
