My goal this year was to find a seated anything and thought I would have to head east to find them but I managed to find them here in Nebraska. This was back on June 6th, 2014 and just got my pictures taken so I can upload them. My brother and I got permission to MD behind a establishment off of a busy highway in Plattsmouth, NE and I thought we would find just modern coins. After about 30 minuters I dug a penny/dime reading and dug up the 1853 seated dime. I thought I was going to scream but I kept my cool and slowly walked over to my brother and he could tell I found something good. He said I had the biggest smile on my face. He was excited for me finding that seated. After about 20 more minutes, I got another penny/dime reading and dug up the 1877 seated dime. I am just amazed! I never thought I would find a seated in Nebraska let alone two of them. Strange thing though there were no more old coins at this site. We did dig up over $7 in clad and one small sterling earring.

That is amazing! You must have fallen over on the first and collapsed on the 2nd! Lol.
