Took 40+ years to find my 2nd one

In my early years of detecting (teenager) I found a seated quarter with a seated dime sitting right on top of it. Today I found the Seated quarter again but NO dime. Man that is a great feeling, hope I don't have to wait another 40+ years. On the day I found the Seated 25, a Washington, 2 Mercs a Rosie, 1 War Nickel a Buffalo and 7 old wheats. Earlier in the week I picked up my first "S" mintmark Barber Dime, 2 Mercs, 2 War Nickels and another Buffalo. With some time Upnorth and limited time detecting I think I had a GREAT week. Happy dance. Keep swinging Wisconsin Digger

That's awesome, Well done! Got a whole lot of great silver on that trip. I'm still working on getting up to that area myself.
 
Amazing find! :wow:

Congrats on the wonderful seated quarter! It's a Carson City too! That's the kind of find that gets us really excited and keeps us on the hunt. I hope your next one shows up sooner than 40 years.

:congrats:
 
WTG Dave, that is a fantastic find for our neck of the woods. It is one coin that has eluded me of over 40 years. Congrats on a great hunt.
 
Congrats on some fantastic finds, and on the seated Q!!!

Nice score. So far I only nabbed 1 seated quarter, but I haven't been detecting 40 years yet. lol. I was a little stunned when I realized they weren't a common denomination.
 
I was amazed to on how few were minted after 1877 especially in the 80's. Some years the mintage is as small as 10,000. I see why so few are found. WD
 
Great find. Took me 2 years to find my first and only last year. Hope U don't have to wait another 40 years for the next one.
 
:wow: What a great bunch of finds!! Congrats on the Carson City Seated quarter. Great Find.!!!
I'm Still waiting for my first seated quarter. Maybe someday.
 
I only found one silver coin in a old yard that had a house knocked down. Boom there was a 1876 Seated quarter on the edge of two properties. Boy was I shocked. Digger Don there is one just waiting to be discovered for you.
