    Somewhere in the United States I had a 2 seated Saturday. My first seated quarter! Thanks to Don I found the barber dime when he invited me to checkout where he was vacuuming up a tribe of Indians! Check out Don’s post as he found a bunch of good stuff!

    Your turn is right! That's a ridiculous hunt! If I dug with Don as much as you do I would rub those seateds in his face just a little...but that might fire him up for next time. Probably best not to poke the bear.
    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)

    Thanks guys! Both seated were Philadelphia. Barber dime is Orleans. Don got the oldest coin/token. Chris did well with the relics and I love the whistle! Can’t believe the seated quarter was in the parkway. Stroke of luck ��
