I found a 1942 George quarter on Tuesday evening which I thought was awesome, then yesterday I had about an hour to kill in a field that I've been wanting to try out and up comes this beauty. My first seated liberty and oldest dug coin so far.

HEY MAN --Supposed to sound like George Thurogood ..LOL

Are you in the North Somewhere?

Here in the Broke "Reconstruction" South Late 1800's silver is Rare .

Only dug 1 Seated Coin (Dime), in 16 years but that's mostly Relic Hunting , But Still...

A very nice find. The Quarter is to.

Thanks guys, I was stoked when I realized what I had found.
No I'm not in the north, I mostly hunt the southern Ozark mountains where the population was so sparse they said a Civil War soldier was more likely to die of starvation that an enemy bullet. I'm just lucky I guess, considering I don't have a high dollar setup, and I'm still in my rookie year of digging.

That's a special coin and should be treated as such.
Put it in a coin folder, and put the date and location where it was found.
Congrats
