It has been quite some time since I found a Seated Silver coin......Having detected so many old areas and have found them in the past...... "Its been a while" 
With not many nice days left here in Western New York , I know my time is limited. So i knew of this one Old Farm on Rt.78 about 20 minutes from my house that has a large grass Field along the road and in the middle is a huge old tree with what looks to be a depression just to the left of it .
So many times I went by that farm on my way to other sites but never made my way there to ask permission ... So now it was about Noon here on Friday and the sun was shining, the temp in the upper 50's ......I had one plan! It was to go and ask to hunt around that Big tree.
When I arrived it was great timing, a red truck pulled in right behind me so I made my way over, introduced my self and mentioned what I had in mind. So Linda the girl I spoke with was very interested in metal detecting and said no problem go right on and have fun!
Now as I headed over to the tree that was a short distance from where I parked ,I was looking for any signs of an old house being here. In between the grass you could see dirt and near the tree I found a piece of white pottery...........Thats all I needed to see so I began to detect.
First I found this strange gold plated (Pin) as you can see it has some strange engravings on it so any help with that would be appreciated!
Now as I continued I happen to find some early flat buttons once again ...a great sign of the time period and how old this old Homestead may have been. Then was a welcome find an 1851 large Cent....in nice condition. If you can read the date I would say there nice. So with the sun still shining I Had no intensions of leaving this place ,with a few more items found ( a boot heal and a couple more buttons) ......out came the big surprise
This great Seated quarter down only 5 to 6 inches and she was a beauty. Now I have not found a seated coin in a very long time. So that made for a great day.
So now feeling good and knowing there are some nice finds here, I stayed a couple more hours and found a variety of nice Relics ....more buttons, musket ball, old suspender buckle,another boot heal plus some Iron items.......I am just glad that the weather here is still nice and we can still get out Detecting with Winter (with plenty of Snow) just around the corner....some places are getting blasted like up north, they got several inches of snow yesterday. Like there the detecting season may be over....Lets hope for the melt down!
Take care and good luck out digging!!!
