Seated Milestone #40

[toasted]

Quick hunt before dark at a colonial river landing that is still an active landing today. It was also where a British raiding party in 1813 came ashore to gather intelligence before moving further upriver and burning most of a town there. Not a lot of signals but almost everything I found had some age to it. Everything I dug is pictured minus a few bits of modern trash. Best find was the 1842 half dime. It was less than an inch below the surface on the beach at low tide. Seated #10 fty and Seated #40 since I started the hobby in 2015 Cleaned it up a bit too

Very nice! I've found 1 in 10 years

I really need to make a trip out east and get some REAL oldies under my belt.

Keep at it!

Cool find. I’m still searching for my first seated.

That's incredible. I'm still looking for Seated #1. Good luck in your quest for 50 and 100!

Too bad it isn't an "O"! At least, I don't think it is from your photo. Nice find though.....still on my bucket list.

Thanks. Ive only found a few mercs and one rosie this year. Nearly all my silver has been 19th century or earlier. Ive really focused on finding older sites and its paid off this year
