CC- Seated QUARTER, 1850s Ring, Half Dimes, Civil War Relics

[BuckleBoy]

Hello All,

Had just a killer couple short scouts over the weekend--and we WILL be back for more! Many other finds besides the ones mentioned below in the video, so I hope you'll enjoy.



Ended up recovering a Mississippi-style spur right before one field was plowed, so I'll be returning to that one ASAP! Then went to another field where I was hoping for some Civil War finds and got two, two-piece button backs and a cartridge box finial along with some shield nickels my buddy and I dug (3 of them)

Then started a new field with my beautiful wife (Tnet member diggergrl) and got an 1857-O half dime which was on edge in a spot littered with nails, a musket sling hook, and more--and unbelievably flopped out a nice 1876-CC Seated Quarter which locked right in as an 81 signal on the F75 even though it was a foot down. Also got a nice coin silver antebellum ring! When I got home I realized that one of the "pieces of can" I'd dug was in fact a flattened, cut down, and rust-encrusted second half dime!

Going back soon!

awesome finds. I think it's awesome that your wife enjoys your hobby in the field with you. Mine would be like 'dirt, yuck', 'it's hot out here', 'ew, a bug', etc.

Congrats on the recoveries, now that's a "I found something good smile"

I will watch when I get the setting back (just a blank space)

Shows on my screen but Tnet has lots of bugs these days. Any luck?

I’m so blessed. We got engaged to be married on a digging trip and had a metal detecting themed wedding. Then we traveled the US digging on our honeymoon. There are limits though! She doesn’t care for beach hunting because there aren’t old relics or bottles to find, and she’s rather lay out in the sun than work digging holes. She also won’t dig when it’s really hot out or frustratingly muddy but that still leaves a lot of time spent together playing in the dirt.
