Not my best seated half, but I'll take it.

Spent about four hours today detecting between thunderstorms. Got a little wet, but who cares. Hunted a real trashy area where I had managed to pluck some silver before. After digging an assortment of junk and clad pieces, I finally got a real good silver signal at about 9 inches deep. With perspiration pouring off my face, I finally dug up a nice big bottle cap. Bummer! I got an identical signal about 5 feet away. This one was only 5 inches deep. My trusty Garret pinpointer located a big silver piece this time. Turned out to be an 1874 seated liberty half. Not in real good shape, but like I said, I'll definitely take it.


Here she is:

That's better than any seated half I've ever dug, but then again I've never dug one

 

[Tenspeed]

Nice find! That's better than any seated coin I've ever dug, because I have found none. I have been present for two seated and one capped bust, but never found one of my own.

A half in any condition is always wonderful. I have been fortunate enough to have found 4 halves already this year (3 walkers and one Franklin), So I know the excitement of big silver in the hole.

A Seated Half is Great! One in that condition means a lot of miles and history. I am sure it passed through a lot of different hands throughout the years. Very nice find, Way to go!

Bob, you are the half seated champion

 

[BuckleBoy]

Great find! I've only ever dug two of them, and one was badly damaged by someone while it was in circulation.

Cheers,
