Seated And Barber Quarters From Tearout

jack&jill · Aug 4, 2018

Had some good hunting since my last report but had a a few clunkers to go with also. My highlight came when a permission was not home when I arrived, so I went over to a street tearout where I took a skunk a couple days prior. Living in a small community we don't see these tearout's very often. Did one side of this 2 block excavation with no keepers but that changed as I came to the end of the only private property on side two. Got an nice repeatable signal showing 8 ins. with the Barber Quarter the result. Went about two feet and got another signal just like the last only a little deeper. This was the Seated. The only coins now in three stops at this site. Earlier in the week at a permission I recovered 7 Silver's (4 Merc's, 2 GW's and a Rosie)and a very nice 1927 Buffalo. Went back the next day and added 3 Rosie's. I also included in this report a hunt that was with IDX Monster. That hunt I got the 9 year Monkey off my back by digging my first ever "V" Nickel and also my first ever Nickel Trifecta and a couple of Merc's. All the rest of my recoveries were from permissions. Anyway the Silver Coin count now stands at 254 FTY. I will update the picture of the Seated after I get it cleaned. Thanks all for looking. Trapper
I have the cleaned pictures of the Seated. Not only did it clean up well but I think the coin is in really great shape and does show a lot of detail. I am also adding pic's of a hunt that I forgot to put in the original post. Just a War Nickel and another Merc. I am also going back to the corner home on the end of the tearout. I stopped last night and got permission to hunt that yard. Trapper

Thank you Digger. Seated's here don't come around all that often. It was actually Silver Coin #250 FTY for me.

Appreciate the response. This is only the third tearout I have seen since moving to this community 10 years ago Tom. They must be widening the street a lot as the coins would have been at least three feet from where the old curb would have been. The cut is only about two feet from the landowners back yard fence which has a apple tree just the other side. Lots of green apples everywhere on the ground.

Thanks Sweeper. I have been blessed to have been able to get some very nice permissions and also be in the right place at the right time. Hence the Seated and Barber Quarters.

Sweet Seated Quarter...congrats on all of it Trapper, and especially your first V nickel. Two more silvers and you'll top my best season...keep up the excellent digging!

Very impressive finds...with all those photos of coins, I thought I was looking at a Christie's of NY auction house booklet. Congrats Trapper!

Definitely the highlight of this report John. Hope you get to look at the seated cleaned up. The best part is I got permission to hunt the yard those two coins came from. The building that is on the property was some type of store before it was converted to a home after WWII. I need to get more info about it.

Thank you Tom, the hunts cover almost 2 weeks time still the count is on the rise, just a little slower. Trapper

Not sure a legend is fitting but committed to task Craig. Still very kind words and they are appreciated, thank you.

Thank you Mark. The tearout really put a flare to it. The Seated really cleaned up very well.

Appreciate the comments Butcher. I'm told that with effort comes reward, this could be true.

Thank you Craig. This is not a common site for me. Does not happen much in the small town I'm in. I have hunted them when opportunity allows in the bigger cities with some pretty good success. Trapper

Excellent hunting Jack! They have some curbs torn up around me I might be giving a shot tonight. It seems I always miss the golden window before they put clean fill in before pouring. Seated quarters are a big deal, they are not an easy coin to find to say the least. All my career seateds have been mostly dimes, with one quarter and one half dime thrown in. What a season you have already had, and we still have months to go. Good luck in the coming weeks!
