Fisrt silver of the year. 1877 Seated Liberty Quarter.

[Centsless Detecting]

Been out for a few times this year already with nothing but some wheats to show for it. Went to 2 places with my buddy on Saturday. First one was a bust so we went to a different, more productive spot. My buddy called it quits after 3.5 hours. I wasn't leaving till I found some silver. I really beat myself up to find this warn out Seated Quarter on a very steep tall buff. She was only just under the surface. Used my pinpointer do dig it up. Spent a total of 5.5 hours hiking and digging. Im still worn out as I post this.

Thanks for looking. Hopefully this is the start of a great 2026 season.

A Seated Liberty Quarter in any condition is a great find - congrats !
Are you able to see a Mint Mark on the Reverse ?

Thanks E-Trac. This is my second seated quarter. I added some better pictures. When I say worn out, she's worn out. Probably in circulation for quite sometime before she fell on that hill.

That certainly is a great start to your 2026 detecting season. You put in a lot of time and a lot of effort. In the end you got yourself a fantastic reward. Hope this is the first of many silvers for you. Cheers!

Thanks monkey! To be honest I was getting discouraged. I had been out hunting this season a total of 30 hours before I found something good.

Texting your buddy a picture of the find is the cherry on top!

Nice find!

Thanks all. It was one of the hardest days I've ever spent digging. Its definitely hard to find 1800s coins in my area so I'll take what I can get.

Nicely done on the Seated Quarter.
Like you said she's been around the block for awhile before being dropped.

Totes worth it for a seated coin. I am on the West coast, oldest I have found is Barbers.
Keep on chugging, dude. You will hit a streak soon enough.

Thanks beerguy. Went back to the top of the bluff yesterday and dug my first Shield Nickel and a V Nickel. Then got lucky with a barber dime and a rosie. 3 silvers for the year!
