A few keepers from my favorite park

[JeffInMass]

The rain finally went away late Sunday afternoon, so I snuck out to my local "Seated Park" and hit some of the areas that I've been re-working, with pretty good success. First good signal was about 8" deep and gave that XS silver sound, and since I've been over this park a number of times, I was having visions of another seated. Right at 8" I saw the back side of a Barber quarter, but something strange about this one. I saw the pieces that had been attached to make the coin into a token/pin, and when I turned it over- yikes!! Check it out! It used to be a nice, VF or so, 1892 quarter.

Not far from that spot, an iffy, but good sounding signal, real deep. I was down about 7" and my X-1 probe gave no sound at all. I thought maybe a deep nail, but I figured I'd pull out a couple more inches of soil and check again- glad I did. Once I got down to 10 inches, the probe sang like a silver bird! The next handful popped out 2 coins stuck together- you can see the green stain on the half-dime. 1850-O half dime, stuck to an 1861 Nova Scotia 1 cent. After I rechecked the holed, there was more down there. My next handful brought out a Cascaret's Good luck token, about the size of a silver dollar, but copper- it was in poor shape and wouldn't photo well, so I didn't include it.

Also grabbed 4 Indians, 1885, 1886, 1889, & 1904- all soaking.

Happy Hunting all.

Nice Job on the finds. Sweet Half Dime. Wonder what knucklehead screwed up that quarter.

From the front that Q looks fake, but the back is dead on...very,very weird...maybe just the recarved face, something is just off about the front, you know? The lettering at the top looks strange too, I don't know just odd. A TRUE keeper, one of a kind for sure! Imagine the time it took to recarve the face on the barber...great find! Wonder if the original owner wore it for so long the face got worn then they had it re-worked later?

That sure is one strange quarter you found there, Jeff. It might be "one of a kind".

Congrats for finding keepers at 10". The Explorers are definitely "deep seekers".

That quarter really is strange. It may be a fake reproduction. It looks like it was used as a cover for something. At one point it had a hinge and u-lock.

Great finds. The quarter that was carved up is probably more interesting than finding a perfect one. Definitely one of a kind. Still looking for my first half dime.
