FINALLY got Seated...she’s a beauty!

[dirtdigginfool]

Been a While since I’ve been here, just peeking in now and then...this summer produced some great finds but not worth posting. My hunting buddy Randy did some great research and came across an old site that showed a house in 1875...long gone of course and currently a bean field. Not knowing exactly where the house stood, we simply pulled into the field where we could and started there. Hitting iron right away, we never ventured more than 50 yards from the truck, as the targets started coming out of the ground right there. We arrived with 90 minutes of light left, and can GUARANTEE we’re heading back there tomorrow, as the amount of targets we dug in that time frame was amazing. Definitely virgin soil, Randy dug 3 Largies and the 1809 Real plus some awesome relics and I dug the Seated, a Buffalo and a neat token. I’m only posting the two coins tonight as we both have some cleaning to do, and I’m excited to post something nice. The Real was 3-4 inches and my Seated was at 1 inch...she’s in great condition but has taken a plow hit at one time. Please note that if you haven’t figured it out yet, this WAS my first Seated coin...been trying to shake that monkey off my back for a while. Thanks very much for looking and Happy Thanksgiving!

Nice 1842-O Seated Liberty Dime and a nice 1-Real. It would be nice if I could find either one of those.

Awesome finds- that Seated looks like it was dropped soon after it left the bank- Congrats!

What great coins! Old silvers are some of the most enjoyable things to find detecting. Congrats on your first seated, as well, they are difficult to find!

Congratulations on your first seated! It’s in really nice shape for its age. Hopefully, tomorrow you’ll find a handful of them. Good luck!

That is one old seated, I can't wait to see what else comes out of there. Sounds like you will be busy for a while!

Whoa, congrats! That is a great find. I love the old style wreath on the dimes is great. I also just got my first Seated! Yours is in way better shape than mine. Hope you get another tomorrow!!

Congratulations on 2 sweet coins. Definitely virgin soil.

Congrats on your first seated! That coin is in great condition and I don't see any plow marks from here. It's an old one too! And that Reale looks pretty amazing. I would bet that your site predates the 1875 house. The Reales stayed in circulation a long time but I think that they stopped being a legal currency awhile before 1875. Just guesswork here but that's my theory. Thanks for sharing!

Holy Moly that's awesome!
