Seated Half saved the day....

Hello All,

Not much detecting going on this year. Been way too dry to dig in any lawns; limiting myself to construction sites.

I heard at my local bar someone saw some construction going on in a local town. The next day I drove around the county seeing what was tore up. Very little.

I did see a couple of places, but most of the dirt was gone; class 5 filled everywhere. I gave them both a go. At one there were a few places where some of the original dirt remained.

Always fun to see a big silver reeded edge peering out from the dirt. It took me awhile to recognize what I had; wasn't thinking seated, thought I might have a foreign coin.

Second seated half of my detecting career. Got a seated quarter earlier this year. No dimes as of yet.

I'm going to try track down where they dumped all the dirt from this site.

Found with my trusty XS. CTX-3030 and Equinox still gathering dust.

Chris

Oh they make a nice couple!!! Seated still on my bucket list.. Sometimes taking a last thought chance can certainly pay off, good job!
 
Glad you took a chance and hunted the site !!! Beautiful coins!!
 
Finding BIG, OLD, silver is a dream. I have a few Barber 1/2's which I think are great. Seated 1/2 is beyond dreaming.
I beach hunt mostly and a rare Barber is about as old as we get. Mostly dimes which are usually slick.

Congrats on a SPECTACULAR find.

Congratulations doesn't go far enough! I dug one about a dozen years ago and still consider it my best find.
