I have to say that I only went out today because the snow and sleet that was forecasted never came. I had a Seattle hunt planned for today but I chickened out because of the time and miles between me and the other forum member. Sorry Gale!
That said, after the day progressed (and I actually got some real work done), I decided to scout out an area that Cruiserkev and I are planning on hunting this weekend.
Upon getting there I realized I had hunted a portion of the street block before, several times. But instead of turning back I took out my gear and decided to rehunt a few of the curbstrips that I had already hunted in the past.
About 15 minutes into the hunt and maybe 1 Wheatie to show for it I got a SUPER weird number on my CTX but the tone was very nice. I had a 14-45 but it kept jumping back and forth from a 12-45 (quarter) and this 14-45. I decided to dig it. I realize now why I had never dug this number before, it was too strange....glad I did.
5" inches down a copper disc popped out (thought nickel but the numbers weren't right) but then saw the grey crescent shape around the copper disc. Silver I thought and it looked about the size of a quarter.
Turned it over and saw the "early" eagle....Holy Cr@p I just found my first seated. Mind you I wasn't shaking or trembling, just happy that I finally pulled a SEATED!!!!
I thought about just putting in my pouch (sorry I don't do the Altoids can with cotton) but thought better of it and walked back to my truck. Thus my first video.

Sorry for the language at the start, but I kept looking at the reverse of the coin trying to see where the "FIVE" of "TWENTY FIVE" cents was but it was nowhere to be seen...I have never heard of a 20 Cent Seated Coin????
I couldn't make anything out on the copper disc, thought it was an old Shield or V nickel.
When back to see if I could pull another silver but only got some clad and a few Wheaties.
I never rubbed or tried to clean anything off the coin until I got home and filmed the "reveal" of the 1875S Seated 20 Cents and 1866 Farthing.
I NEVER thought I would be lucky enough to find a SEATED ANYTHING, and here I find a Seated 20 Cents coin??!!! She is worn but she is ALL MINE A lifetime find for me!!!
The video is below. And before you tell me, Yeah I know it is long and badly done....but I am NOT a YouTuber, but thought I would do this video more for me than anything else!

Oh, found $.95 cents total, 2 Wheaties a 1956S and 1957S. This brings me to 30 silver coins since the start of my hunting year.
Thank you for reading and watching!!!
Happy Hunting and Good Luck EVERYONE!!! WAHOOOOO!!!!
