C-III-ME-------Eighteen Fifty Three, not so virgin site in Woodstock, NY

[port ewen ace]

afoot and lighthearted, I took to the 1 acre land---
hopes soaring of Talismans and rings, yea the treasures of Sultans and Kings ( thanks to Annie Haslam of British group Renaissance)
the Prince's seal & the songs of Scheherazade----

it was not to be my destiny---- a scant 37 cents in CRAD, abundant iron & copious slag--------------UNTIL---

nestled on edge against a small moss covered rock at a depth of 1 inch (showed as bouncy 66-69 on ATPro)


DRAT--- could it be an "Uncle Sam Play Dime"----

NO BUCKY----

IT'S TRIME TIME





my 3RD Trime (a '52 & '53 in '14 & 2016).

the LUCKY who hit this ground before I got there must have scored BIGLY--- BUT--- ya' missed one

For a second, you had me going in another direction.
Seeing "C-III ME" made me flash on the possibility of a Charles III ME mintmark (Mexico City) coin.
OK, back to your trime: Great Save!

Very nice tiny silver mate. I was fortunate enough to score one many years ago on a curb tear out. You've got a "hoard" with three now. Most folks will never get that tiny silver target. Well done.

LORDY, 27 Likes--- even I like that

the Trime is a tough coin to grade, it has some luster but the wear is the trick to get from VF to XF

today was a ride on "the carpet of the sun"---- OR---CRAD time---- $8.45--- so much I had to just cherry pick the Cuters-- every swing was another coin, less than 200 sq. ft. covered with another 25 acres to go---- just gots ta get all the clad cleared away to be gitten the old silver, jewelry & relics to take their place at center stage at my Trip to the Fair, ( again thanks to Annie & Renaissance) when nobody is there.

and no--- this NOT a Fairground--- just a place of Fair Maidens & nymphets of Woodstock

That's a great find. I have been detecting 40 plus years, and have not found one yet. Congrats.
