Plunder from trip to Mass, Cellar holes, and recent local finds

First up the finds from my trip to seated park in Mass, never hunted a site so willing to give up seated verses mercs and barbers not that I'm complaining. I left out the tribe, I found some nice dates including an 1879 and 1876 but all where too corroded to bother posting.
A big thanks to Jeff for sharing with us his knowledge of the more productive areas of the park to hunt.

That slug/token with W.U.TEL.CO. on it, I think it stands for Western Union Telegraph Company.

Actually no, it was some very hard packed soil that was unfriendly to the indian heads.
 
Thats cool, I'm liking more already. Western Union Telegraph, a nice bit of american history. Thanks for the info.
 
Great finds Charles! How many seated so far this year for you?
 
5 including these 3 lol. Thats how rare they are around my area in NY. I find more large cents than seated, go figure that one.
 
No I traded my WOT away a while back, it was too small so I'm building a big coil.
 
That IS strange! Why do you think that is? How deep are they when you find them?

My finds for today: a flat button and a horseshoe spill <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
 
The seated are only about 6-8 inches down, and we have 4 large parks, two date back to 1860 so I can't figure where all the seated went, there are plenty of barbers, hordes in fact. The large cents are all deeper, 6-12+ inches. The only thing I can figure is the seated are mixed in with the iron at the same level whereas the barbers are slightly shallower and above most of the iron. We shall see when I unleash my new concentric coil which I designed specifically for that purpose, I'll get that cone shaped tip down in the layer of rusty nails and we'll just see what else is hiding in there. Intial tests were shocking in its ability to lock onto something solid that was right up against something else and not average the signals together.
Or it could be back then these folks around Albany were just dirt poor!!! <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D">
 
HMMMM should be very interesting! Do you notice that you find more seated coins in dry weather? If so you might be on to something!
 
Yes, most of my best seated were in dry soil or damp at the most. Thats one problem we have around here, when the iron is wet is a real bear to detect.
