Christmas eve...VERY cold...VERY wet...LAST hunt of '09...1833 CAPPED BUST DIME
I have been extremely busy and the holidays were hectic. I hope you all had a great Christmas/New years week...and 2010 is a good one for us all.
I really put the Sunray X-12 coil through the paces the last week of December...and as was the case with the X-5 coil post a few days ago...I can't say a whole lot at this time.
[bg=http://forum.treasurenet.com/images/coinsc.jpg]Please watch for my field test report in an upcoming issue of Western & Eastern Treasures Magazine for all the details of the X-12 coil test.[/bg]
I just wanted to show the find that made hunting on Christmas eve in heavy rain and 33 degree temps...very much worthwhile.
I have only found 3 bust dimes in my 35 years of hunting...and 2 of them have come from this particular site.
I think the coin looked nicer UNTIL I TOOK A FRIEND'S ADVICE 8) and soaked it in soapy water.
Looks like it had a little detail until I did so.
I should have just rinsed it in warm water...but oh well. 
Thanks a bunch friend. 
No more advice from you.
