Popular Post Troy E Posted October 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2022 Found today at another beat up park. This was only 4 inches down. Was my second dig. I can’t believe this was missed. Possibly, the other detectorist thought it was a modern coin that’s why it was left. There’s a ton of old circular dead grass plugs all around this area. Lots of iron and nails. This is in amazing condition being 184 years old, and a first for me. Thanks for looking. 22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal_Cobra Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Nice early one!! Odd it was only 4" deep. I once hunted an old town square on the east coast, and three quarters of it was practically sterile, and the other square, err rectangle actually with a band stand in the center. Anyhow one quarter was hot, several old coins and relics. Like someone had hoovered clean the first three, and saved this one for last or moved or who knows. I'm sure all those parks have dried up since I was there over ten years ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F350Platinum Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Wow, your soil is nice to a coin that old. Really nice shape, it must have been dropped that long ago. 👍 Great find, hope you find more! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim tn Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Yeah, that's a beaut. I was 40 year's with the hobby before I got my first Seated quarter. Had two halves, but quarter was a toughie. Congrats on yours. HH jim tn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing, about 4 inches down in a well hunted area. Worn to crap. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see what the soil in my area does. 😵 To start, black stains and such. Good stuff you're finding! 👍 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason-NEK Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Fantastic find Troy! You know what they say those old parks can be hunted to death, but they will always produce something that was missed. You, my friend, hit a great seated right there! Huge Congrats on both of these finds! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
