    Thanks, I sold 3 rolls of mercs a few years back when silver spiked. I also sold a an 1878 S quarter in XF with light environmental damage. The same site I found the seated quarter at, a buddy of mine found an 1882 CC $5 gold piece in AU.

    It was a picnic site out in the country that was used for large summer picnics from about 1880-1925. It's just rolling hills still to this day. Between the 3 of us that researched it and found it, we pulled over 50 seated and barber dimes out. Close to 50 early mercs, around 15 seated and barber quarters as well as a bunch of Indian Heads, early wheaties, V nickels and early buffalos. There was one seated half and the gold coin previously mentioned. The latest dated coin we found was 1925 and there was no modern trash. It was one of the best sites I've ever detected.

    @relicsncoins.... Congratulations... Just shows what research can lead to when searching for sites. I have always recommended people go to their libraries and pull information about the history of potential sites. What is overgrown with trees now, may have been fields in the past.... and areas may have had businesses or fair grounds years ago.... Once again, great work and astounding results. Cheers, RickO

    I hunted an old fairground for many years. It was loaded with shotgun shells. They really give a nice reading. Found enough coins to make it worth all the digging.

    @relicsncoins.... Wow, 45-70 and 50-70 are big brass.... Not a lot of people shoot those. I did, the .45-70 is a favorite hunting round... one and done. Cheers, RickO

    Most of them came from 1870 era fort sites.
