To borrow a term from Captain Silver I got out for a little 3 hour "DirtChurch" hunt. The site was the old church I have been hunting with the owner. I think we would have lasted another hour but the skies opened with some pretty heavy rains. My finds may have been meager for quantity but they all qualified as keepers. The finds are 3 Wheat Pennies, a 1891 Indian, a 1900 Barber Dime and the big hit is an 1875 Seated Quarter. The Farmer dug a 1901 Indian and a old Ink Pen. The type you had to dip into an Inkwell. I think its a brass tip in a wood shaft. Only about 2 inches of the shaft remains. This was my 2nd hunt on this site without any modern coins.
The 2 Silvers now have me up to 81 FTY. As always hope everybody got out and had safe and successful hunts. Jack

Thank you Dan, If I was a betting man I'd go with the Captain. He has been in a slump for him but I think he's breaking out of it now, (Actually I think he was just taking a break letting me catch up):yes:

Made me laugh a bit Coppers. The Owner/Farmer is using my ATP when we hunt and now has dug 2 coins (Wheat and Indian) a small crotel bell and the pen (A very neat find). This being only his third hunt ever I can say he has a love to put holes in the ground. I'll bet he has almost a bushel of trash of all types nails, bottle caps, hinges, hardware and a ton of you name it.:grin: Jack
 
Beautiful seated! Not many showing up this season it seems. Its been a barber year so far for me. I hope you can get back there and pull some more out! HH!
 
Congrats on the Indian, Barber Dime and the sweet Seated Quarter Jack, those are some quality digs! Seems we're even on the silvers now at 81...time to catch up to Coin Whisperer:yes:

I may not get back to the church until fall, the farmer plans to turn over the field then. It was the picnic area and the ball field. Still have the farm yard to hunt.

Thanks Bruce. Shall we gang up on Whisperer, he is having a very good year. That is even with limited finds from the Girls School.

Appreciate your reply GK.
 
Jack, my man you are killing it .... if not piles of clad then awesome hunt of nothing but keepers ........ The seated coins are my next bucket group, even though I am more likely to find a V nickel first given the ages. That is a heck of a hunt!! Keep killing it!!
 
Excellent digging! Beautiful Seated quarter. I'm still "Seated-less" so far this year, and my goal is at least one per year. I'm hoping...

Meanwhile, you dug a beaut!

Awesome!

Steve
 
Very nice and how do you get your coins so clean or do they come out of the ground that way?

One of these days I hope to stumble across a seated.
