EUREKA - First Ever Double Seated Liberty Hunt Plus More

Jamflicker · Jun 1, 2020

Hey everyone,
These are from two evening hunts last week after work. One one I only found a few wheats and marbles but the second one is one I will always remember. Early in the hunt I found my first seated dime, a beautiful 1890 one, then within 15 minutes I found my second one which was not so pretty. My buddy Kurt was with me and we took a few minutes to celebrate my first double seated day ever. Then went back to detecting and pulled a 1907 V nickel, then a 1907 Indian head penny, then a 1700's era Chinese cash coin. Also got a 1914s wheat, a nice piece of gold filled religious jewelry and a few more marbles. What a hunt, I won't forget this one.

Also, if anyone knows how old the Eureka California Seal button is, please let me know.

Hope you are all staying safe out there.
Jason

Fantastic and enviable!
Machines?
I know it’s the pilot and not the plane, just curious.

Jamflicker, As you know, the So. CA parks are riddled with merc's (since the mass population in-flow there was in the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s). And a smattering of barbers (if you're in the older So. CA parks). But as you know, seateds, from junky urban turfed parks down there IS NO EASY FEAT .

So I would wonder if you're not the first person to pull off that stunt from a So. CA turfed park ?

To get a double seated day is usually reserved for relicky sites. So you get an extra "atteboy " ! Hey, if you REALLY wanna rub it in : Next time you're with Dan, ask him : How many times has he pulled off a double seated day from the turf down there. And if he says "never", then you ask him to repeat his answer a little louder, since you didn't quite hear him. :laughing:

One sitting lady makes for a great hunt. Two of them? Outstanding!

I think the Eureka button is the best find. Some great finds there.

Thanks Tom! Yes seateds are a rare feat down here in parks. Those are only my 5th and 6th ones. I think Dan might of from the spot he found his gold coin at 5 or 6 years ago but I will ask him. Yes, for sure a tough feat and doubt many have done it.

Thanks! I was really excited about the Eureka button and being a piece of California history. I wish I could figure out how old it is and what it is from.

Hey everyone,
These are from two evening hunts...........

Even if you stopped the year now, the variety of silver for the year is just nuts, not to mention the Indian Heads Cents now in your sights.

What's the back of the button look like?

dixiedigger57 · Jun 3, 2020

please post the back of the button. i see some listed civil war sites. check the backmark is the best way. it looks old enough front side.

oh..congrats on that hunt!
