Got out this afternoon with my brother to the early 1800s site we have been working for a few weeks. My brother found the incredible seated Half, a seated half dime and a nice Barber quarter two weeks ago. Well, I am waiting for my new Equinox 800 to arrive so my brother let me use his Fisher F75 with a new Nel Coil. I got a faint deep signal about 15ft from where the Seated Half came out. And about 10 inches down popped this beauty! The soil at this site is so good to these coins. Just like the half it looks brand new. First seated for me and a bucket lister for sure. 1854 O with arrows

Also found what looks like a crusty 2 ringer

We have been hitting it every Sunday afternoon for a month now. Six coins 1848 to 1868. I will be hitting it with my new machine next week and my brother will be using his new Minelab CTX 3030 with the 11" DD Smart coil. Can't wait! We will hit every inch of that area for sure.

Sweet seated dime! I agree with bonepicker, the bullet looks like a Burnside carbine.

That's pretty cool. And while researching Ambrose Burnside, I leard he was also the creator of sideburns! Wonder why? Ha!
