1875 Seated Liberty Quarter

[WhiteCountyPaleo]

Sunday, three of my friends and I decided to canoe the Wabash River and go to
"The Feast of the Hunter's Moon" in Lafayette Indiana. On the way there we would
enjoy the scenery and what ever cool thing we could see coming out of the bank.
One spot produced this quarter at the waters edge in half an inch of water that eroded
out of the bank along with fire cracked rock and what looks like a musket ball. Can't
wait to see what comes out when I take a metal detector. This is one of the best coins
I've ever found.

When I saw it I had to look back again then stop the canoe and paddle backwards.
It was a half inch under water. Thought the color looked like water stain on a coin.
Old site with no trash coming out of the bank. Just some fire cracked rocks so far.
