A FIRST FOR ME!!! WOO HOO! SEATED QUARTER!

[sniffy]

So I haven't posted or even so much as looked at any forums for a month or so now...due to the freakish October snowfall that destroyed the trees here in Connecticut. I operate a log truck so my job has been full bore lately...not a lick of time to detect. However, Thanksgiving has gifted me with a 4 day weekend....I had a nice little 4 hour window today so I decided to fire up the old prizm and hit the ground sniffin. I went to an old foundation that really hasn't produced anything to write about but I decided that I better give her another shot....the ground has been very moist lately so alot of the deeper targets give off surface signals. Right off the bat I get a couple suspender buckles side by side....pretty cool. Iron in these conditions produce awesome signals so when I got a solid quarter/ half dollar signal I wasn't really phased. I just dug what seemed to be a couple tons of junk iron. I seriously almost gave up on this nice little quarter, my machine doesn't pinpoint anymore or give me depth...so it's tough. I actually covered my hole and was ready to walk away but still got that pesky quarter signal....I found rust in the hole so I figured it was just another piece of scrap....but to my suprise after pinpointing a bunch of junk, I seen BIG SILVER ON EDGE!!! WOOOO! I made a goal this year...SEATED QUARTER...and here she is, my first. I'm on cloud 9 now....I manage to get a nice thimble, a religous pendant, and a button before the day was up....also got this State of Massachusetts thing....funny that it was dug in Connecticut. lol......thanks for lookin folks!

Glad to hear that you finally got some time to yourself, and that you spent it wisely. WTG on that seated quarter. Please return all Massachesetts items to MA.
Congrats on a great find.

Sniffy, I gave up on a hole today just like you mentioned. When it got down to 8 inch and I saw some rust I filled it back in. It still rang quarter as I reluctantly walked away. I congratulate you on your determination and great find.
I hope you made lots of overtime with the storm. It had to be good for something.

congrats Sniffy on your first. the last 1875 quarter i dug actually wasn't a quarter at all. it was a sweet 1875s 20 center.
