To find even a singe seated dime is not easy. It never was and still isn't. I remember finding my first one in an old church yard in the early 80s (I got a worn out seated quarter, my first, there too). I had been hunting for several years already by then. It was a long time before I got the next one. Then in 1992 I got seventeen of them over the 27 day course of the Decatur Dig. But the most I ever got in a single day there was three. I beat that two years later when they did new sidewalks downtown in Dundee, Michigan. I got six in one day. The best one was the 1890. You can read about it in my story, The Dundee Dig, found here. Has anyone ever got more than that in a single day?

Fantastic!
I've never gotten more than 1 in a day.
 

Nice going Ron :)
 

Nice! I have had a couple days like that and it sure gets the blood pumping! I think i come close to beating it or at least matching it if you look at my older threads. One time i had 5 seated dimes, a seated quarter, 2 canadian dimes and a fish scale from same period as seated.(plus all the other non silver coins to go with it) Another day at the same site I got a seated quarter, 2 seated dimes, 3 seated half dimes, a trime, canadian dime, and 4 barber dimes, and an like 20 something Indians some shield and v nickles. I think the thread names were "its raining silver" and "1 day, 40 coins over 100 years old"

You never forget days like that or the work that lead you to it. Huge congrats to you on absolutely slaying it!
