Made a trip to the park the other night as usual for a Thursday - I started off digging some deep iron and a couple beavertails, and then got a consistent high tone about 2 hours into the hunt. Got down to the 9" level and brushed away the dirt to see a silver coin of some type at the bottom. I carefully dug around it and dislodged it from the dirt, and much to my surprise there's a silver quarter staring back at me! Poured water over the coin, and noticed that the eagle on the reverse side was a little different - WhooHoo! Seated Quarter! My first ever! Went on to dig a 1903 Indian and a 1916 D Wheat

This is my oldest coin ever dug, and finding coins this old is a challenge in this part of the country! Just when I think the park is getting stingy, it gives up a monster! :clapping:
