My buddy took me to a well hunted site this afternoon, but I managed to pull three good finds in the 4 hours we were there. About 5 minutes after we got there I found a 1789 half real, then about 20 minutes later I got the 1838 dime.About 30 minutes before we quit I found the small cuff link or pendant. I think it might be gold.
The dime is one of the nicest ones I have found.

Wow, three bucket list finds in one hunt! :shocked04:

That seated dime is spectacular! First year of that variety with the stars on the obverse, and it's in terrific shape! :loveit:

Spanish silver from the 1700s is nothing to sneeze at either!

That gold item is interesting. It does appear to be solid gold. I would guess that's a cufflink due to the small size.

Congrats on the amazing day!

Amazing finds! That seated is really awesome-first year with stars, large star variety. I'm guessing the relic is gold judging by the color and lack of corrosion. The Reale is also a rare find, and something I'll likely never see here in the Midwest. Congrats!

We went back today for 3 hours and I didn't find anything! Thanks for the replies. The pictures are just as they came out of the dirt. I haven't cleaned them yet.

Three awesome tiny finds! Did you pick them out from iron infested areas?

Not really. It just seems that every time this soil is turned we find something. One of my hunting buddies found a 1786 half reale in the same spot about three weeks ago. Right now the hunting is pretty hard because the field is in corn stubble.
