was a slow day at work so I turned in a vacation day and hit the bean field! First 4 hours produced nothing but scraps, horrible site. Although I did dig my first ever jew harp there, thought that was cool. Drove down the road to a site I hunted hard last year, but it had messy corn stalks in it. This year it was a nice smooth cut bean field. Second signal I got was a 12-47 solid on the etrac, I was hoping large cent, but to my surprise it was a 1877 seated quarter! Also got a rough 1892 V nickel, some buckles, a cufflink, tons of lead, and shotgun shells. Good day in my book! The seated quarter has a lot of dings and scratches from 100 years of plowing, but this guy is NOT complaining!

I would not complain either! My next silver on the old wanted list is a seated. I haven't found a jew's harp either.....I kinda like that too!
 
I'm jelly!

Congrats !
 
Ever thought to hunt a bean field. I would think the soil has been turned over a lot and heavy farm equipment would push things down deep. Nice find!
 
Awesome day! Congrats :icon_thumright:

not just a regular field, I have old maps, and go to fields where 1800's homesites were at. The constant working of the ground actually keeps finds shallow, the quarter was 4" deep
 
Rich farmer. WTG!!!
 
That woulda bought a lot of beans in the day. NICE!
 
Love all seated coins :thumbsup:
 
It's always nice when a field produces finds like this one did, even though you got your first harp from the slow field.
 
That is an excellent find condition notwithstanding ! Seated coins of any denomination are a tough find (I've not yet found one )
 
Thank you for sharing your hunt and those pictures with us
 
As usual... very nice finds. Congrats on a really nice quarter... envious....
