Never thought I would find this....
I had a bit of time to "kill" so I thought I'd hit the yard.
Been over this particular yard before, but that was awhile back.
I've been using full tones and a tweaked Calabash program that has been doing well.
It's ALL about the tones !!
So this yard after an hour or two yielded a 1949 nickel, 10 memorials, 7 Wheaties, a Chinese cash coin and three dimes.
The dimes are a 1954s Rosie, 1942s Merc and a 1872 Seated cufflink.
When I dug it I thought it was a top to a toothpaste tube and through it in my pouch without another look until sorting my finds.
The Seated in this condition if it were not made into jewelry would be a $40+ coin and if it were a CC mint over $1100!
Anyway it's a pretty cool find none the less.
Now who would loose a cufflink without the stone??
Now I need to figure out which hole it was in....:BangHead::BangHead:
The cufflink is in the upper left corner of the dumped picture and just above the pennies to the right of the buckle.
The other two dimes were in my pocket during pictures because I knew what they were.
Seem I missed a bit.....

I feel your pain about the stone ,earlier this year I found this 18k ring when I got it home I noticed the small points on it .needless to say I've been back several times trying to find the hole with no success.ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1476614911.336216.jpg
 

A missed opportunity. I can feel your pain. but those are some cool finds for a hunted yard. Man I do wish that dime wasn't destroyed but I like it anyway. Congrats!
 

Thanks for finding my lost hose nozzle. Nice finds.
 

Wow lawn maintenance at your house must cost a fortune,
Ps want me to water your garden
 

Awesome finds there HD! It's always fun to find a "surprise treasure" in our trash/common coin pouch! The other day, I found what I thought was a zinc due to its shallow depth. After cleaning, turned out to be an 1908 Indian [emoji12] Great post, keep up the good work!
 

Nice work Sir! Congrats!
 

Thank you all for your kind replies.
I went back to see if I could locate the spot that the cufflink came from.
Unfortunately I'm a pretty good digger, even in my own yard.:tongue3:
My holes had already blended and there was no way to tell where I had dug the plugs.:BangHead:
Oh well guess I'll never know what the stone may have been...
Guess I'll need to pay better attention to my finds in the future.

I have gotten good at that myself over the years. I might get skunked but I can dig and replace a plug like a champ! lol
