Seated quarter in the beanfield!

[Goes4ever]

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!

What a wonderful collection of finds! The seated of course is fantastic. I live in NC and have permission to detect pretty much any of this guys farm fields and he has thousands of acres. Unfortunately they do NOT disc or turn any of the fields. I drove through some yesterday and it seems most are still filled with soy beans. They were harvesting some fields as I drove through. Unless disked the stubble makes it tough to swing through and you lose depth. Not sure they're worth hunting.

they have been doing no till for many years here as well, most finds are still in 2-6" range..YES they are worth hunting!

Wow Terry...AWESOME ...as usual! BEAUTIFUL seated and looks great on the stump! Hey-I've got some great sites down here, I might possibly be missing some deeper targets that the E-Trac could sniff out..and our good buddy Big Mike has moved to Dayton...I sure do miss my hunting buddy!! But anyway, if you ever get the hankering to wander down yonder and poke around some different ground that has not been hit..let me know and i"ll make it happen. Thanks Terry. ddf (S2h)..
