Hello all. Got this lady the other night. Seated #7 fty. I have found most of them from the fairgrounds site in the past but have been lucky to find most of this years at multiple locations. This one came from an old ball field that had only given up modern silvers and a few indians up until this point. I think Ive only found six rosies and mercs combined this year
Found my 29th Seated in first 29 months of detecting

Indeed. My last one in June came from a spot that has not produced any other coins near that age
Thats hard to believe. You must not hunt many late 19th century sites to have not found at least one. Most every site that I have detected that goes back into the 19th century has given up at least one and the ones that did not were full of indians so I assume previous hunters skipped the indians and dug the Seated/Barbers

Not a whole lot though, I'm mostly just impressed. Congrats!
Congratulations!
One per month is just amazing.
I think I have found about 2-3 per year and I love finding them too

Wow, one seated per month for nearly TWO AND A HALF YEARS. I've been hunting since '88 (witha couple long breaks between, so only about 8 years) and only have two, both out of the same country church yard.
Big congrats to you sir!

I found 2 in 2015, 20 last year(18 from one site) and 7 so far this year(3 from 2016 site). 21 of the 29 are dimes. I posted this pic at the end of last year but here it is again. They are all in 2x2s now

Just WOW ! OUTSTANDING,. A seated anything is now on the top of my most wanted list. I've been at it about two years now, my oldest silver is an 1899 Barber dime. Any advice on how you do research would be appreciated. Thanks and many more. HH Mark

I'm Jealous
No, not really. I found my first seated, a dime about 3 months ago, an 1891, the last year, after 5 years of detecting. The trick is hunting old places. Is that big one a silver dollar? You really are killing it with all those seated. Congrates.
