Gotta first yesterday

[Lookn4Seated]

I went back to the woods where I found my 1899 Barber Quarter yesterday for a quick hunt, and when my coil passed over this thing, it registered 06-47/ 07-49 on the E-trac. My heart was pumping as I thought it was going to be my first half (as it was down about 8 inches).

Well, it wasn't a first half for me, but it was a first vehicle tax plate. I still think it's a pretty cool find. I still have to hit this area hard as wheaties from the teens are still popping out. Where is that dang half hiding though?

Oh yeah, and my dad calls me while I'm hunting and tells me he found a 'cool' quarter. He found a 1853 seated at our local park........Frustrating.

Jon,

As you might know, I'm not much of a relic guy, but that plate has got to be one of the coolest items I've seen found. Goio found a similar one at Washington last year and I was totally envious. I've got a real interest in early transportation methods and that tag is very very interesting. I'd rather find that than a 1917 half. Seriously.

Don't take that with you when I see you because I just might steal it. lol

Great finds.

Looks good and no damage from digging.

That tax plate is awesome . . . better than a Barber. . . and just as good as your dad's Seated

Take care,
