Sierra Seated times two ! Plus lots more !

[pl8man]

What a trip we had ! This place I have been hunting near my parents cabin in the Sierras keeps giving up the old silver ! I hunted twice while we were on vacation . The first was an evening hunt till it was dark , not much found , clad and a broken junk kids ring . The next morning my son , Carson and I got out early at 630 am and hit it hard . My son was the first to strike silver . He had a +77 at 2 inches and out popped a sweet 1928S Merc . He was grinning ear to ear . Then I got a +24 at 3 inches , a 1944P silver war nickel . We were both on the board . Then it happened , a crazy mixed up target at 7 inches . It was +28 , +45 , +68 , +72 , it was everywhere but kept repeating . I know from the past at this location to dig a target like this . I got down to the target and I saw silver in the pile of dirt . Not any silver but the oldest coin I had ever found at this place . It was a 1875 Seated dime ! My son and I were going crazy . Then I stated to fill the hole in and as I did I had another high tone , Seated number two ! A 1891 Seated dime ! My first ever Seated spill ! So I checked again and on the side of the hole at 9 inches another high tone , +72 . The third and final coin of the spill was a 1908 Indian cent ! I think it will be a long time before I top this one ! The next coin went to my son , a 1949S wheat at 2 inches . After that we found some clad and were ready to head back to the cabin when I got a screaming +92 at 2 inches . One more silver coin for the hunt , a 1946S Washington quarter . What a hunt we had . We are going to try and get back for one more hunt this year before it gets to cold , maybe more silver is waiting .

I love those great coins you guy's found , I was just thinking it's strange sitting here in GA & seeing the fire on the news and noting the other day they said it was the size of the city of Chicago MAN!! . but here it kinda goes in one ear and out the other [another fire OUT THERE] but reading your post and the reply's makes it closer to home [ folks loosing their Homes ,Cabins & not to mention the charred remains of a once beautiful landscape. As they say these fires are natural and the land always springs back to life , so I'm praying that your cabin and others property in the area and above all else the safety of all the fire fighters and others in the area ; we all would hate to see a repeat of what took place a month or two ago and many other times in the past. Whatever happens my thoughts are with you. Davers / David.
