Season finale firsts! 12/26

[Michiganne]

I have some free time today and with the weather cooperating, headed for a local farm house (1873+) I recently gained permission to hunt. The owner is adding on so the yard is pretty torn up. Not long into the hunt I got a good signal out near the road and pulled out a silver quarter. I could just make out Lady Liberty and she was sitting down....my first seated! A while later I found another good signal and fought through some roots for a coin. (At first I thought it was a token since I didn't recognize its size.) Gently brushing revealed an 1865 2 center....another first. I later added an old button and a pocket watch cover plus a big iron what's it. A beautiful sunny day and big fun pulling some oldies out. I'll be back for more gridding!

HH and thanks for looking,
Michiganne

Holy cow Anne, 1853 arrows and rays seated, love that design, that one looks really crisp too! The 2 cent looks excellent also! You picked a great yard, congrats, I'm sure there's more treasure hiding there, good luck!

Merry Christmas to you Anne! That is great! Better hit that site some more. Great looking coins! I am happy for you girl.
Is that an "S" on the quarter?

Outstanding finds Anne!! Can't wait to find a Seated Quarter. Both the Quarter and 2 Center are in great shape too!! WTG

what camera are you using to take these amazing finds?

Panasonic Lumix with 10x zoom. Great little mid size camera. I prefer to take pics in natural lighting and always use the macro setting for close ups. Then I use my Photo Manager to crop and get even closer.
