Got out to a small park (wanted to go the the old church, but they had something going on there) with my 2 brothers today and they kicked my butt (silver, indians, etc) - all I got was some wheats (16 total), a small enameled pendant and a torched '03 V-nickel. On the way home by brother Tom and I saw that the church was vacant, so we stopped in there. I picked up a few wheats, and got chatted up for about a half hour by a nice lady that was interesting in taking up the hobby. After she departed I did pick up a '37 buffalo, then what I thought was another wheat cent turned out to be a civil war patriotic token ("Our Country"). A few minutes later, I got a screaming 12-47 on the CTX @ 6-7". I cut a plug and pulled out a '45 wheat, covered the hole back up and wondered why it came in so high. I re-scanned the hole and from one direction I got the 12-47 again. I thought "cool - must be a Washington quarter down there too" - lifted the plug back up and in the side of the hole and a few inches deeper popped out a silver quarter. I immediately saw the distinctive eagle on the back and knew I had a seated - 1875. Love it.
