Seated, Barber, Merc, IH's and Bufallo all from the sidewalk dig!

Woohoo! :)

Finally after 6yrs of detecting mud, dirt, clay, sand, hot humid summer heat, soaking wet dew mornings, frozen turf and snow flurries... draggin my 7 yr old with me (not all 6yrs tho) but she likes the worms, she has to "protect them" til I cover my holes. :D
Well I got my 1st seated coin. A 1890 seated dime. Has great detail but too bad it looks this way, don't know what to do to spruce it up to look better, any help will be appreciated greatly! But for my 1st seated, I ain't complainin' any!
Then just moments later I dug this beat 1918 Merc, by far the worst detailed silver coin I've dug ever.
A few days ago same place I dug the best detailed Barber I've ever dug, It's a beauty! Near AU, full head band details. 1907 Barber Dime, Sweet!

I unearthed 3 IH's, 1896, 1899 & 1906, a handful of wheaties 1918-1942, one old Jefferson 1947 and a Buffalo, near no date, kinda looks like 1937 but has all four legs dang it! :P

There's still more sidewalk to be torn up... and I'm still going to the "dumping ground" where they're taking the scooped away loads of old sidewalk dirt and cement (that's where I got 1 IH, the seated and merc).

These are my first silvers since June!!! Slow summer for me.

More to come I'm sure...

Re: Seated, Barber, Merc, IH's and Bufallo all from the sidewalk dig!

That's a year's worth of finds (if you're me) in one hunt!!

Outstanding bunch of coins, WTG!

A bit eerie that 2 topics today mentioned a very-detailed Barber dime and an 1890 Seated one...

congrats DigginItUp on your 1st seated coin and nice haul! many more! That seated looks like it was hit with some kind of strong chemical.

Yes some nice finds from that sidewalk dig.I like to do sidewalk digs also they hide some nice treasure at times..........................
 

Re: Seated, Barber, Merc, IH's and Bufallo all from the sidewalk dig!

Thanks everyone, I went back on Saturday but only got more clad, unusually more nickels. But I snaped a few pics of the dirt, oh yeah the worms too!

Congratulations on a great hunt! I hunted a sidewalk tear out in front of a 1898 church the other day and found a 22 shell and 2 cut nails. I'm envious.
