Lightning Strike! 1856 S Seated quarter - Again

[winslow]

I went back to a field I did last month after getting permission from the new owner. Last month I found an 1856S seated quarter along with a bunch of square nails, broken horseshoes etc. The new owner just had the field plowed so I was psyched! I spent 4 hours on the field yesterday and got more old square nails and bits/pieces of brass. Decided to go back today with a bigger coil. I didn't need the bigger coil (for depth anyway) because when I finally got a very good target it was half sticking out of the ground. Another seated liberty quarter ... dated 1856 again. I grabbed my camera and took a quick picture. I think the plow was good to me! When I got it home and gently cleaned it I saw this one had the S mint mark too and was actually in better condition then the one I found last month. It's hard enough to find a seated coin these days but to find two with the same date and mint mark... on different parts of the field is something else. Yippity yahoo!!!

Took a picture of both of the quarters with the newest one on the right side.

I also found a button that says "Doherty's Patent" on the reverse side and Martindal? & Paul with some other lettering on the front. Feels old but I couldn't find any references other than a date associated with a Doherty patent relating to buttons dated 4-7-1858.

Great find- what are the odds of finding two 1856-S quarters period, nevermind in the same field! Could there be a hat trick waiting for you??

Congrats!!

Great coins. I like the photo of it sticking out of the ground. I know how you feel to walk up on a coin like that. Its really cool to see them before you dig.

Unfriggin' believable! I think I would have started laughing and rolling in the dirt like an old dog. Lol

Congrats on the find(s)

Winslow, Spectacular finds brother, congratulations. The mystery letters on your Martindale and Paule button are these, "St. L. Mo." so St. Louis, Missouri. Now you can research it and educate us all! Happy Hunting, Sub

I would keep looking for the rest of the roll of coins. Must have been a cache buried.

Heck, all I ever find laying on the surface are zincolns and they're always face down so I dare not pick them up. Congratulations on two lovely coins. The second is in extremely nice shape.
