Drove 80 miles to the yard of a house built in 1914. The yard was small and I did not find much. Three wheaties, early dates, and this 1876 Seated Quarter. I got a clear 85 signal on my whites and there it was at 5 inches. I at first thought it was a SLQ, so I stuck it in my pocket and moved on. Later, on the way home, I glanced at it and thought maybe I'd just found a slug. Imagine my thrill when I got home, cleaned off the dirt, and saw what I really found. The pic does not show the date well, but it is clearly visable. The coin really is worn down, but I'll take it, never thought I would ever find a seated coin. A great find and it makes the 80 miles a worthwhile trip.
