Seated success Saturday

[McCDig]

Received a permission to hunt a co-worker's property and headed there today to detect.

There are two tombstones in a garden bed that date from late 1700s and early 1800s; these were apparently dug up when earth moving was done on the site.

I found the property to be challenging because the ground mineralisation is high and there are many iron targets.

There were not many "good" signals that I was hearing. Did manage 4 clad coins, a modern button, and a brass buckle with iron tongue. There was an old coin found and that was near a stone wall that was done by the owner's grandmother. This silver dime turned out to be one with "ONE DIME" on the reverse. While I couldn't read the date at the time of recovery, after washing the coin in water I discovered the date to be 1839.

Thx Scrappy! Tough site with lots of modern iron but glad for the one silver. Did get two clad dimes and two clad quarters.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Ken! Was invited to come back anytime.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Brad! Appreciate that. Looking forward to getting back to this home site to check out the woods and lower field.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Jamie! I was wondering if I'd find anything good, just no sweet tones like a deep anything.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks JerseyDigger19! Congrats on your finds this year. It's been a very productive 2017 for you. 2017 has been a big break fro me from city parks to the countryside where I'm looking chiefly for relics.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Cal! Speaking of, I've never found a bust dime. Last year I did dig a draped bust half cent. GL and HH!

Ahhhhhh.
2 of the 1,053,115 minted accounted for, as my only Seated Coin Find was a No-Drapery 1839 SL. Dime

Great Job man . Hunt there again if possible & dig the 'iffy' signals or use a Smaller coil (if you have not already).

Scrappy is right IMO about the Early Seated , but I am biased.
