Sometimes you don’t even need the detector

[el remolino]

I pulled up to a site I had been on previously. I got out to check my tire because I had caught a screw in it a few days prior and wanted to make sure the patch was holding. I saw a black circle on the ground almost under my tire. I thought it was probably plastic until I bent down, put my glasses on, and picked it up. To my surprise, it was an 1876 Seated Quarter! My first Seated Quarter! It is in surprisingly good shape considering that dirt road gets moderate use. I can’t believe I didn’t drive over it. Thanks for viewing.

Before i got hooked on Metal Detecting I hardly ever looked at the ground when walking. Since i got really into it I find money all the time just walking without a detector in my hand

yup me too. Saw a quarter walking the streets yesterday, kinda in a hurry and walked by it. I will find it again very soon!!!
