1856 Seated Quarter

[Digger62918]

Lady luck treated me really well today. I had a bit of free time so I decided to hit an old Ghost town that has been good to be in the past. Got there and after about 20 minutes of swinging I got a sweet silver signal. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a large silver disc. Picking it up I could see the back and tell it was a Seated Quarter Which makes my very first seated quarter! Overwhelmed with joy and I just sat there for a sec grinning. Finally I flipped it over and saw a clear date 1856!! After another hour or so of searching I found two more coins, both indian head pennies. 1907, and 1982. A fairly short hunt but very rewarding!

Great find, and she's in great shape, CONGRATS

I see you're using the CZ-70, one of my favorite machines Just curious what coil where you using, looks like a BIG field and does it have a lot of iron?
