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.

Thanks Tom! Silver will never cease to surprise and please when I see it in the hole. I've had a great year so far with old silvers: 4 seated and that 2 reale.

Thanks Art! That early dime came late in the hunt but really redeemed the day!

Thanks ATW! Found my first seated in Baltimore City and that just in one park. The farm site in Baltimore County has yielded three this year. This one from my co-workers home site kept the beat going.

Thanks Daryll! Appreciate you checking out the post. I was hoping for something old to give the homeowner. They extended an invitation to return anytime. HH and GL!

Thanks CASPER! I see you have a couple Fisher units yourself. Mine has performed well over the past couple years and paid for itself.
