A So Cal "Oh My God" Moment Plus 11 Silvers This Week

Ice Scratcher · Apr 28, 2015

Alright, hear me out on this...

I learned something today! Which brings me back to this thread... The thing I learned is a capped bust dime is bigger around than other newer (even seated) dimes! And your one silver with a hole in it ( looks to have been shot, then pounded flat again, then drilled out for a pendant) could be your oldest silver, beating out that killer seated!

Please see this thread..

What do you think? Maybe Spanish or capped bust?

Congrats again on all of it!!!

I do think that mystery coin's bigger hole was made with a bullet then pounded smooth again...

Excellent! I think when I find my first seated, I'll pass smooth out

Smokey25 · Apr 28, 2015

Absolutely fantastic finds

Jamflicker · Apr 28, 2015

Thanks Tom and Ron. I keep hearing how rare they are here in the turf in California and it makes me even more excited about my find.

Tom_in_CA said:
seated quarters from a turfed park here in CA is quite an accomplishment! Congradulations.

SeabeeRon said:
One awesome find Jason!!! Like Tom said, some in other parts of the country may not know how rare that is to get out here!!

Jamflicker · Apr 28, 2015

Thanks Dan! It was nice sharing the excitement with you on the phone. I really wish I could figure out the holed coin thing. I will bring it on Sunday if we meet up to hunt.

It almost felt like I was right there with you, Jason, on the night you found that seated quarter. Appreciate the phone call, and the live, play-by-play, unveiling of your oldest silver coin ever!! I know just about as well as anybody how rare a S. Cal turf seated is to find! Let's hope your seated is not the last one we find. Major Congrats on an exciting week of finds. Glad I got a chance to hunt with you for a few hrs last week. Your holed coin is sure interesting. Could someone have been starting to make a coin ring with it?

See you in the turf!

HH,
Dan

I did many many years of dirt detecting in California before converting to beach hunting and I never found a seated liberty coin. That is just awesome and beautiful! Congrats!

Thanks bud! Maybe you will be surprised with one on the beach someday. The great thing about this hobby is you never know what the next dig will be.

Jason!!! Thats freekin awesome!!!

Very rare turf find for SoCal indeed. Huge congratulations my friend!

Hopefully we get to hunt together again soon... Im movin to Savannah in a month...

Thanks Darin! Yeah hopefully it works out to do a hunt before you take off to the east coast.

Jamflicker · Apr 28, 2015

Thanks Ice! I like your theory's and even thought it could be Spanish silver because of its size but never thought about a capped bust. You could also be right about being shot then pounded flat again. I have found a couple shot coins and I could see what you mean. I really wish I could see something on the coin and have inspected it with a loop but there's nothing.

Ice Scratcher said:
Still looking for one of those, big congrats man!!!

Even your damn jewelry is clipped! Dang it!

Nice find! I totally understand your excitement having just dug a seated not too long ago myself here in california. A seated is a find I don't think anyone would ever forget. Congrats!

GStout76 · Apr 28, 2015

Nice finds Jason. Congrats on the nice quarter! "S" mintmark to boot.

You were there when I found my first seated and I remember how excited I was when I found mine. I couldn't imagine had it been a quarter.

jack&jill · Apr 28, 2015

Jason, I can understand that moment as it only happened to me a few weeks back. Digging my first ever Seated Quarter left me kneeling at the plug for what must have been 10 minutes. At least you had the presents to call Dan to share your rare moment. That coin is one you will remember and smile about for a very long time. Congrats on that recovery and another very productive week and reaching the century mark on Silver Coins. Jack
