Got out on Sunday for about 3 hours to hunt an old farmstead site I researched last year. I've hunted it two or three times in the past but its been plowed, planted in corn, and harvested since I was there last. I decided to work an area on the edge of the spot where I have always concentrated my efforts. Turned on the 750 walked about ten steps and bam ... a nice dime signal at 2-3 inches. I dug the plug and saw the hint of silver in it. As I removed the coin and gently removed the dirt I could barely believe my eyes as the first thing I saw was the date ~ 1876! I thought to myself ... I have just dug my first seated coin after 4 years of detecting ... Hallelujah I finally accomplished that goal and she's in pretty decent shape as well aside from being holed! I finally calmed down and got back to detecting. The rest of the day's finds were 3 wheat cents, 2 memorial cents, a clad dime, a couple of marbles (which I really enjoy finding), and a few odds and ends. Thanks for looking ~ Jimmy
