Congrats on the elusive seated half! Man you really killed it with the other silvers!! Two seated in one day and a sweet Canada dime!? And all this at a heavily hunted park? I’m curious, were the other signal also challenging?

Congratulations on that Trophy! Great finds and post and pics! Good to see you really got into the old silver again!

 

[ollievon]

You have dug "a couple thousand silvers" in eight years"...uh, you sure on that number?

 

[crazydigger]

awesome recoveries congrats on ALL of them.

Looks like you had a pretty great heart I’m very impressed and slightly jealous

HUGE Congratulations on saving that beautiful Half!
You may not believe it, but the one and only seated half I ever found (in 2015) was also in a hole with a huge square nail - check it out:

She's a beauty, congrats! I've been going about the same amount of time and still looking for my first seated half. I see more silver dollars found than seated halves.

Congratulations on a great find! What is left on your bucket list?

Trime, but I very rarely ever get to hunt farm fields, so that might stay up there for a while. . The oldest park we have in our system in this whole county dates back to the 1870s, and this is where I got the Seated.

Thays a sweet one right there! Ya got a pic of those few thousand silvers? That would be something to see! And an accomplishment that is basically unheard of!
That would be 375 a year...

Thanks. I don't have pic of all of them, because I have put them in books, and different places, but I have documented a majority of them on this forum in my threads going back to 2010.

Erie County. I have to drive quite a ways for a park that is really old. The oldest parks that we do have go back to the 1870s, and are either in bad crime ridden areas or are heavily hunted.

A little bit, I remember the Seated dime being iffy and near trash. The quarter had a iron bolt near it like the Seated half. And that's really all I can think of right now.

Oh yeah, I primarily got into this hobby for the old silver coins. I kept count for a while. Wheaties too. Most of them are documented on this forum.

Thanks Everyone!
