This season has not been as good as the past two years for me when it comes to pulling silvers, :BangHead: but I finally dug an item that will check two off my Bucket List. It's amazing that if you dwell on what you really want to find, it usually comes true in a short time. THE SECRET has worked for me. :icon_thumleft: Earlier this year I was fixated on digging a Capped Bust. While in NY hunting with the B@stards of the Bramble guess what I dug the 1st day, an 1834 Capped Bust half dime. :hello2: During the summer I had the SLQ on my mind since I've only ever dug one. Within a few weeks I pulled two of them. :thumbsup: Recently I have been wanting a Seated quarter and a Love Token. Well today it happened. :headbang: Since it was slow at work I took the afternoon off and drove different roads home looking for more prospective sites. Upon getting home I sat in the garage catching up on Tnet posts and the wife asked "aren't you going detecting"? Well it only took me a few moments to change into some dirt fishing clothes and off I went. The 1st site I hit should have some old coins there, but I have not pulled anything older than a wheat penny. After about an hour I went to site #2. I've hunted this permission a couple times and I knew it had to have some keepers somewhere. I have permission to pull the floor boards out of the small barn/carriage house to see what I can find. Well that wasn't going to happen today only having a couple hours before supper so I concentrated in the back in a very trashy area using the sharpshooter coil running the FA process. WOW I was so stoked when I saw this find. :headbang: Immediately broke into a happy dance and I'm still wearing a Sh!t eating grin as I type this. :tongue3:.

Thats awesome. I got my love token earlier this year but I kinda wish it had been on a seated instead of a foreign silver
 

Fantastic finds Loco, very happy for you! Enjoy those beauties!
 

WTG Loco on the bucket-lister. I know exactly how you feel on the dry spell. So happy for you man and I almost started picturing you in my mind doing your happy dance but hit the brakes on that real fast. Congrats to you Mister.
 

That is really awesome, the amount of work that went into the love token is fantastic!! Nice score

Thanks Jackalope, see does have some nice detail. I've always wanted to dig a seated Q, being that this one is also a love token put's it over the top. It even has my wife's 1st name initial. :icon_thumleft:

Very nice Loco. It looks like that coin has had several lives. A quarter, a token, and perhaps later a ring. Now it's A love token that belongs to Kevin's brother in laws brother in law. Totally rad. Right on bro!

Thanks Steve. yes it's a sweet Kevin's brother in laws brother in law find. :tongue3:

Ps I'll never forget that look on you face holding that Capped bust. I'll remember that one forever!

I found it hard to believe you could ID it as dirty as it was, recon I need to invest in a pair of bifocals. I almost crapped myself when you told me what it was. That was a fun hunt for sure.

Great find. Love old silver. Congratulations.

Ah ha! I was wondering that very thing when you posted! Now you will need to consider how to turn "your" fabulous find into "HER" new BLING!;D
 

Wow! That really is nice. The engraver was a master. I too cant stop looking at it, it really pops with the precision engraving. Congrats ! Great work. Looks like you got a ring too.
 

I've never see one that engraved/detailed

Excellent piece! Congrats!

But....about that "not having anything worth posting...". Well, I'm beginning to think I'm not welcome here! All that posting of clad!?! YUCK!
