Is my detector working?

[PENNYHUNTER]

Have you ever had one of those days that you go so long without a hit on ur detector that you start to wonder if it's working. Ask yourself did I drop it? Are the batteries charged? Then you start thinking about the stuff you should be doing like mowing the lawns and fixing the fence and you don't even know how much ground you covered when all the sodden it yells at you because you found a seated dime.

It doesn't take but one good find to make the hunt!

Lovely Seated! I've had the same scenario of silent detector several times, but they didn't end with such a beauty!

Very nice and it appears to be in very good condition...It looks like an 1843 from your pictures. I'm looking for a mint mark but don't see one. An 1843-O could be quite valuable, mintage was only 150,000.

 

[PENNYHUNTER]

Where would I find the mint mark?

I am with you there. It's quality, not quantity.
Nice find.

Yep, I know that feeling of detecting and finding nothing, and questioning myself as to why I am not doing something else. At least you found a seated though.
You reminded me of another time I was out detecting and kept getting signals. I would dig and dig, but could never find the targets. I then realized I had my steel toe boots on. Idiot!
Congrats on the great recovery,
MM
