Another First!

[OhioCoinHunter]

Today I had a few hours to kill so I hunted a site close to home. It was a h-u-g-e grass field and I didn't have time to hunt it all. Several modern coins came out of the ground with the oldest being a 1964 memorial cent. Bummer! I continued to swing the coil and soon got a screamer at about 7 or 8 inches on the depth meter. Judging from the numbers, the high tone and the depth, I knew it was going to be something good.

I dug the bone dry Ohio soil and found this baby:

My first Seated Quarter!!!

1876 Seated Liberty Quarter

She's black as tar and worn but I'll take her!!! The date is nice and bold. Cool.

I put it in the electrolysis tank for 5 minutes with the battery charger set on 40 amps. When the quarter came out, the black stuff washed right off.

Here it is after electrolysis.

I also found this pin/badge:

Here it is after electrolysis:

FREMONT YARYAN CO./FREMONT, OHIO

I think it's an electric company pin.

Here's a short video of the hunt for anyone interested.


Happy Hunting!
