FINALLY - got that monkey off my back!

[CTDirtFisher]

Hello!

Its been a good year to this point and I had a few goals for 2010... I was seeking 100+ silver... more silver from 1800... at least one seated silver... etc... etc...

Well today I headed to the park I was going to yesterday when the saw the sidewalk they tore up and dediced to hunth there in stead... The park I hit dates back into the 1800's and has pretty high traffic daily... so I was expecting lots of colt 45 caps... pull tabs... 12/37 memorial pennies... and I was not dissapointed... I did get a '57 D Wheat penny about 30 minutes in... and decided I was going to give this location another 30 minutes... Its a good sized park and if it only held clad... I'd seek out another location...

Then I got a 24/46 27/47 signal @ 10 very high in the FE area... but the CO stayed 46-47 on all directions... so I decided to dig... Dug a nice deep plug... X-1... nothing... dig down to about 8... X-1 nothing... I almost filled the hole back in... and I was thinking... CO 46-47 46-47... Let me remove some more... THERE IT IS! 12/47... SWEET Silver sound in my headphone... pop it out... I can see SEATED LIBERTY!

1856 Seated Liberty Quarter... Its my 53rd Silver coin and 3rd 1800's silver for for the year... No one around to hear me yell or do a little happy dance... Well the little furry guy with a nut was scratching his head...

I wondered how many other deep coins I had missed like this... but I am still thinking that the FE read so high into the Ferrous area... *shrug*

I did manage 2 wheaties... and I got a farly good 12/15 @ 4 and hello Mr. 1892 V!

Sweet old seated!!! I'm still waitin for my first seated too... Can't wait to get that monkey off my back!

Hey Paul, you've got one I don't have! That Seated Quarter :shocked04: I can't seem to find one, but you can lol Nice coin and miss Liberty V is sweet too. Sounds like you are probably going to dig all signals by CO numbers. The FE can vary due to iron and depth, so just go by repeatable signals. I use the numbers when I want to get excited lol 12-46, that's my magic number for my hunts. You're having a great year. Congrats!!!!

Thank you... and how did you know I'd be back there tomorrow :-)

I cleaned them... Renaissance Wax helped the 1892 V big time...
