Sat down today 1876 seated quarter!!!

[Mark kus]

Well I started off this week on vacation I went albie fishing this am with the fly rod and I got one great fight on the fly!
So the fishing slowed and I decided to go check another spot to fish or detect well I ended up at the park where I found
My $5.00 half eagle almost two years ago.
So I started off right near the parking lot and right away using park two and noise canceling I hit a merc 1940 then some clad for awhile
Until I hit the east side of the park and had 28 hit another silver dime 1952 then same area I had a sweet 30-31 hit I was thinking silver
Quarter?
So I cut a little bigger plug and when I flipped it and placed the pointer on it it went off so I carefully scraped away some dirt and saw the eagle
I was hoping capped bust quarter!
Nope still a nice find it’s also my second this year seated quarter and same 1876 date my earlier one this year is in excellent condition
Also found the cute worm snake back at my car.
Happy hunting..

Thanks the gold coin was found with my Etrac which I no longer have now that I have my Nox
It’s been a great machine I’ve been through this narrow patch of grass before.
Could have missed it but was happy to hear that silver sound.

Thanks sgoss66 Yeah my first year detecting I was in shock! I had a real nice high tone thought it was a silver so when I saw the clip and that a coin was attached
I did not dare to stick my shovel in the hole I reached in removed a handful of soil and saw the gold Indian head I knew right away I had my first gold coin!

That is a great story -- AND in your first year detecting? I'd say that probably hooked you for life!!

Yes first year 2016 I use to detect years ago with my Dad 35 years ago my Dads 86 now and He's still detecting!

 

[sgoss66]

Mkus -- GREAT story about you and your Dad! It was about 35 years ago when I first picked up a detector also -- an old White's Goldmaster that was my late grandfather's machine. I was just a kid, and didn't know how to use it; found a few neat things but once the batteries died, I was too young (poor!) to keep putting all those batteries in it, so my passion for detecting went into "hibernation" until about 8 years ago!
