Another road reconstruction yields seated quarter

[bk]

Found a good site today. They are tearing up about 8 blocks of downtown. Only about 10% of the sidewalks have been removed so far. I found this seated quarter in a clump of dirt excavated from under one of the sidewalks. Had to leave early cause the rain came down in buckets about a half hour after I took the pic of the site. Once again, its a sea of mud. From what I can see, there is only about 4" of sand under the sidewalks before you get to black dirt. Can't wait for the rest of the sidewalk to come out.
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger said: "I'll be back".

Why do they tear the whole street out? Here all they do is resurface it...

That is one sweet looking coin though.

Hey omni,
I'm down in Rochester. Cloquet is way up nort. I hunted up there once... ground is too mineralized to get any depth.
I'll bet the winter weather is a little warmer where you are now too.
Thanks for your reply!

Yeah, the ground up there is packed full of rocks, more rocks than dirt! I like it better here, but wish the humidity and the bugs weren't so bad! Good Hunting! omnicognic 8)

Nice find BK,Hope you can pull some more silver from the area.I missed my chance a few years back when they pulled up the main street and walks from one end to the other in my town in a rehab project. Town goes back to late 1700's.
