    Some nice success you had there and congrats on the 1800s coins! The '76 Seated Q is a great find despite the relatively high mintage #s.

    Wonderful finds! I detected in Streator one time with a group of friends including Ill Digger and daddy Digger.

    Your Seated Quarter is beautiful! What an amazing find. The 2 Cent Piece is wonderful as well. I guess the 1916 Mercury Dime doesn't have a "D" mint mark?

    I would love to see some photo of the tokens.

    Congrats on the incredible finds!

    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves
