Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy. Seated tonight.

[Dirty Digger Doug]

So after lunch I went to a park near the house. This park has been hammered by everyone with a metal detector. But I had a couple hours before the wife got home tonight so off I went. First thing I popped was a Rosie, followed by a silver treasure chest pendent. Little did I know what treasure I was to find. My next signal was crisp and hi toned. Hoping for a silver was I surprised to to be holding my first seated dime, 1889. Next I popped a gold gilded cuff link I believe. Shortly after that up came another Rosie. So after this mornings hunt I ended up with a silver quarter, mercury dime, seated dime, two Rosie's, a silver treasure chest. Best day ever but it doesn't stop there. I also got a RR check tag. It's hard to read but I believe to to be from the F & PM RR Co. I don't want today to end.






My quadfecta for the week. Featuring my first barber and seated dimes.

We'll I spent the day there today. I found a war nickel and a buffalo nickel plus 9 Wheaties. All were found in the same area as the silver. About 30' W x 200' L. Nothing as I moved into the park. A fence separating the railroad tracks from the park was on the other side. They do tractor pulls in this area during the summer festival. That is probably why nobody checked it before.

Awesome coins!

It's always nice when others 'hammer' a place in front of you. They get all the trash and new coins out of the way, then experience comes in behind them low & slow, and finds the booty! Nice day at the office, Congratulations!

I work a pounded park North of you.
Once in a while , an older coin turns up still.

The recent rains factor.
Keep notes on soil conditions!

Well done working less hunted areas.
Sites can be very different in use over time...
