Been really busy this last month without much time for anything nevermind metal detecting. This past week managed a few short hunts and found a couple bucket listers. Also found my second ever SLQ with a date.
Two days ago I was hunting the field at our barber property when I found my first bucket lister, 1840 seated half dime.
The kid borrowed my pin pointer the day before this hunt unknown to me until it was too late. I was on my way out the door for a hunt when I found out.
Anyway, swinging in the rain I got a deep 79-80 hit but, sounded small more like a 22 casing. Flipped a plug and actually moved my target out of the hole twice before finally finding it, felt totally naked with out my pin pointer.
After a quick clean up with a little water from the jeep, not having the pin pointer didn't much matter.
Only other keeper was a pendant that looked silver all the way. It's not marked and the aluminum foil and spit test failed.

Man that seated half dime is a stunner! Congrats
 

Excellent detail on the Seated Half Dime. I can understand feeling naked without your pinpointer. I have a several PP's to avoid that scenario. The cross is very nice and does look like silver to me. Congrats on the bucket list coin.
 

Wow !! That Seated has awesome detail!!! Congratulations on a great find !! HH
 

Congrats Deershed!

That is a superbly detailed little coin. I just felt a little pang of jealousy.

Best of luck to you sir!
 

It's really nice to see that the Seated is crisp with detail. congrats!
I hear you on the pinpointer, going out and not having it makes for a little unnecessary stress to digging.
 

Awesome seated!! Man u are absolutely KILLING it lately! I haven't found much good myself as of late so I'm getting my silver fix through Tnet...Congrats on a stunner of a seated...Ddf
