Had a blast with my friends at the Three Seasons Treasure Hunting Club seeded hunt. And was able to hunt a fairgrounds that has been actively used since around 1850. My tour guide Ken has been hunting these fairgrounds for 30 years and has found many, many coins, but nothing of the Seated variety. So needless to say he was almost as shocked as I was . .
I should note that finding the Seated quarter was almost a fluke ... my Explorer was actually honed-in on the gold-plated or guilded(?) hair barrette or pin. After I pulled that from 7 inches I re-checked the hole. The Seated was another two inches further down !!! So .. Ken & I wondered if maybe they were lost together. If I knew the age of the pin I might be able to put them together, but anyways .. DAMN ... my first Seated guys !!! YESSS !
The 1868 1 Lira is another first, and Ken wondered how the heck it ended up there .. I was happy to save it from an eternity in the dirt ! 1918 mercury ... 1899 Indian Cent and some wheats. 14K gold pendant weighs 5 grams .. Ca-Ching !!! But certainly another case of digging my arse off for a few good finds .... so worth it !
Video of all of the finds minus the wheats coming very soon !
Oh yeah .. and always recheck your holes ..
