Thread: Bucket list seated

    Bucket list seated

    Hello everyone. I went out to a Chicago park on Sunday and found my best coin for this season. I wanted and tried to figure out how to post the pics of it on here , but can't manage to get them on here successfully , because I think it would of been a good find for the contest. Digger don or al will hopefully swing by sometime and help figure out what I'm doing wrong. Anyways here is the video if you want to check it out ...

    What a sweet looking seated! That was awesome.

    I thought / heard that Chicago has "banned" detecting in city parks? Perhaps in just some areas?
    Detectors I use: Minelab Equinox 900 & Manticore
    Favorite finds I have made:
    1,000+ silver coins
    92pcs of 1700's Trade Era Silver
    Copper Culture Indian Artifacts
    125+ War of 1812 Era buttons and relics
    My wife
    (probably should have started with that one)

    The forest preserves are off limits since 2012 , the city parks are still safe , but I'm sure those will be banned soon because between the 3 of us we must of covered and tamped down someone's plugs that were partially filled. It only takes one guy that makes plugs like that to ruin it for everyone else ..

    I tried posting a button I found a while back , but it seems like the pics are too big to fit. Sometime I will figure it out.

    Last time I found a surface eyeball find was at a construction site. I was shocked to just see it sitting there. And a dated 1918 one...
