that we did... This was a great treasure hunt... too bad we will be stuck for a while due to snow.

very nice, have yet to get anything seated other than the half dimes so far... one of students got a '74 seated dime on one of our hunts but that was it.

@muddyrelics Thats Cool. The Seated Half Dime is on my Bucket List. I've found 2 Seated Half Dollars Seated Quarters and Dimes.

Oh wow, what years were you quarters?

@muddyrelics my oldest, and first is 1854. I've found an 1872 CC. I've found a couple 1876 and 2 1880s.

@@craziedigging4590 that is awesome, we are still waiting for our first quarter from the1800s. Hoping 2025 will be our year.

coin collector value, or spending value today???

We actually get asked that a lot. I am not an coin expert either, only what i have researched from our finds, but these Seated liberty series were made out of silver and came in Half dime, Dime, Quarter, Half dollar and full dollar. The silver half dimes were minted until they started making them out of Nickel plating, then they were referred to as Nickels, but they came in 2 increments, 3 cents (following the civil war Trime) and 5 cents replacing the Half dime although they were both being minted at the same time for a short while.

@muddyrelics cool, thanks I didn't know that huh they called them half dimes before using nickel that's really cool info Thanks

Great info, thank you, and congratulations on your find.​@@muddyrelics

@@JosephDipsey Your welcome, the evolution of our currency is quite intriguing the more we get into it.

Thanks

Thanks , I can see it being that now that you mention it

Thank you, and a Happy New Year to you as well.

All is well, Thank you for watching. And a Happy New Year to you.

Lol. Missouri winters, it can be 65 during the day and 10° blowing snow at night lol. We actually filmed this hunt in the early part of November or end of October and it was around 65 to 70°

Thank you for watching, and yeah, i almost walked over it too, but the tone was just high enough although scratchy and small.

Thank for watching and Hang in there. Never thought we would find them either, especially this old, but they are popping up once in a while . Interestingly it is the 1900's silver coins that have been elusive to us.

@muddyrelics 1887 IHP, 1890 nickel, 1875 S dime and...1900 O quarter, i just can't get that ever elusive 19th century quarter, buddy just got his 2nd yesterday 1892...some day...i did get a shock this year, dug a half which was completely covered, starting spraying....1902 O...all it takes in this hobby to keep ya going is that next really unexpected find! Keep up your great vids, nicely done!👍

I agree, that adrenaline with each dig, even when the last one was a pull tab.

@@muddyrelics closest feeling you'll get to being a kid on Christmas morning!🙂

Very true. I like that analogy

Timing is everything...LOL>... Thanks for watching.

Thanks

Thank you for watching.

Thanks for watching. We have found fobs before, but that one was the largest. Per the ax head, i am not sure we have found any yet that were legible enough to get a name . I imagine we will find a good ol Keene Kutter one of these days,. One of the things this year i am wanting to do is to clean these old tools up and restore them for displaying with new handles. Outside of some illness, Christmas was good, hope yours was well and Happy new your to you.

@muddyrelics ours was excellent. Some of the Axe Heads Pick Axes Files will have Makers Marks on them. I've found 2 Pick Axes with a Makers Mark and a couple of Axe Heads. Pretty cool. Mason Mercs Dad Jim said some of them can be worth a little money.

Interesting, we have seen some while visiting antique stores, we will see what happens once i knock some rust off them. It is interesting to see how worn some of them get with all the use and sharpening, but when you are cutting wood for a house and then for a Northern Missouri winter it would get a lot of use. But a lot of them also have stress cracks int eh handle well. But i am looking forward to shining a few of them up, planning to do the same with some of the other tools we found, like the old square handled grub hoes.

@muddyrelics Hope you find some Makers Marks. I've even found one on a I believe a Horses Hoof Trimmer

Wow, very nice. I will hopefully be working on some of them this winter when the ground is too solid

hello to you as well. and thank you

Thanks. Yeah I was really thinking big coin the way she was acting. But still not disappointed

Thanks and thanks for the tip, will the alcohol take off the corrosion build up, most of our coins are from heavily tilled farm fields and have a nice build up on them. We tested peroxide on a few lincoln wheats and zincs coppers that were pretty well gone, but have not tried that on good coins .

@@muddyrelics I'm not sure it would remove corrosion, but I know water removes the patina and with it the details on a copper coin. Green mountain Metal detector uses alcohol on his coppers and the look pretty good afterwards. I personally use a toothpick (skewer) to clear as much dirt and corrosion as possible.

interesting, We will have to look into that . Thanks for the info. I have started using Pencil graphite and soft wet pencil wood to try to remove some of it and that has been beneficial in taking care of some of it without leaving any marks, has worked on buttons and tokens too.

👍 thanks

Thank you and thanks for the add.

Thanks and thank you for watching

You bring up a pretty interesting point, especially in the next video in the same field we find two coins with holes possibly from a necklace to hold them. And then in our last video we had a barber quarter which would have been a valued equal to $10 in 1900 so that would be a pretty big loss

Thanks, it was. And the next trip coming in the next video got even better

Thanks. And thanks for the info. We love the history side of our finds. Adds to the fun of the hunt.

Thank you and you are very welcome. It is a pleasure to do so

oh yeah, Next week i will be saying woot woot even louder...lol

👍

We are north of KC a ways

Thank you and thanks for watching

👍 Thanks

Thanks. yeah we love anything with dates to show we may have something of age... dont know if we will go back or not, may wait a couple seasons and go back after it is tilled to turn more stuff up.. It was spread out over a pretty large area so there is a chance more is out there.

@muddyrelics Right on

👍

Thanks

Thank you

Thank you.

i googled both, the slide brought up similar items of age, where as the runner brought up the same concept, only in modern items.

we appreciate that. Thanks for watching

Thanks. I had no idea what the parts were, looked it up as a slide like you mentioned... and sure enough.. Thanks for the info .

We appreciate you watching. This was our oldest quarter as well and the first in the Barber line. After looking up it's value, it is no wonder why they didn't drop and lose them like they do today . .

that was the most of it. We had a few items that got misplaced before we could picture. Next one we move to a similar farm, but proves to be older.

thank you. and thanks for watching.

They did. Thank You . I was impressed, usually at least one axle is rusted through. Unfortunate the Tonka race car hauler that was with them did not fare as well.

going good, been unable to get out to the field recently, hoping too before Christmas as long as th ground doesnt freeze. Yeah the cars cleaned up better than expected. Usually the wheels want to fall off.

@muddyrelics I hear you on the wheels. I've only been out a few times since November. Worked 27 days straight at work. Short handed. Then it snowed. Temps 0 to minus degrees in the mornings here. Right now 4 degrees. I can only do the Southside or the hills here but very patchy in areas. Frozen. Hoping to get out next week. Take Care

@@craziedigging4590 oh wow. You must be a little higher elevation than us. We have dipped into the teens, but nothing that severe. Missouri weather goes from a fall day to winter blizzard overnight, back to T-shirt weather in the same week, so we never know until we get there

@muddyrelics I'm at 6500 feet to 7000 feet where I detect. We used to get a lot of snow but the last few years not like we use to. We can get to minus 30 without wind chill in the winter

@@craziedigging4590 oh, brrrr... Things dont move right, including me, when it gets that cold here... lol

LOL, yeah, it has me beat by a few...

@@muddyrelics shut up. I came first. I remember 1971

Lol. Was it a good year?

@muddyrelics yes, I got a pony that year. I jumped my first ditch.

😆

WE want to tank you for hanging in there with us we grow. It has been a fun ride so far and thanks for watching and for commenting . Appreciate the compliments.

Just found my 1st (hopefully not my last) seated coin yesterday, 1875 S (below the wreath) dime...i'm in NE Nebraska & seated are few and far between but they are out there...once again, you guys keep up tje great work, will be sure to give your vids a 👍!😉

That is awesome, major congrats. , we have found half dimes, but the seated dimes have been elusive. One of our students found one, but I am still looking for my first. Thanks for the 👍

thanks for watching. and thanks for the info, That is very helpful. I have worked around old machinery all my life on the farm, and had not see anything like this before. I knew about drip oilers, but had not witness this type. Again thanks for filling in that blank.

thanks .

Thanks for watching, just subbed back . Nice coins. What area you from ?

@ that’s great thanks I’m in Kent uk!

Your welcome and look forward to seeing what you ind. A early European coin is on my bucket list, but very rare to find in the Midwest. although there have been some French coins from the 1700s found.
