Had the pleasure of getting out with Steve (1147SILVER) at one of his sites. We didn't have much time to detect but a couple of hours. But what a site it was :shocked04: :drool: :drool: I'm sworn to secrecy, so all I can tell you is that it is in the USA lol Thanks Steve for letting me tag along. Here's the junk first...not too much

And all of the better finds

Got 8 quarters, 3 dimes, 9 Memorials, 7 Wheats, 1 Indian (1889) and 1 lovely Seated Dime (1877) :smitten:

Also got a very old watch winder and some kind of ornate handle :confused:

Here's the Indian and the cleaned Seated Dime

Thanks again Steve for a great hunt. I may be getting the hang of this turf hunting ;)

That seated looks so pretty! :smitten: The Indian Head cent isn't bad either. :loveit: I need to get out to detect. :girlcry: Nice hunt! I hope Steve did well too. :yes:
 
Very nice hunt there. Secrecy sometimes can be bought, got a price in mind. That seated is excellent looking. Congrats
 
Wow, those are a couple of beautiful old coins :clapping: I just know you'd share with out of towners lol
 
Thanks, everyone, but you all get this :bop: :bop: lol This site is top secret :cheesysmile: It was real nice of Steve to share it :yes: I think I'm liking this turf hunting :smitten: It's not so bad being a commoner lol
 
Great hunt! I love the Indian Head and the Seated Dime!

My first seated coin is still eluding me, but I haven't given up hope!

Congrats on the wonderful finds! :clapping:
 
Great job on the Seated dime there George! Is it me, or does it seem like this is the year for Seated coins.. seems like everyone is finding them... except for me :white:usaflag::

I don't know what's going on :confused: I have found more Seated this year than Mercs :dontknow: I ain't complaining though lol I'm hoping it is because I am getting the hang of the E Trac for finding deeper coins at parks and finding the tiny targets at cellar holes. Or it could just be luck lol Hope you get one soon.
 
Man that Seated dime looks awesome. :smitten: I can't wait to add one of those to my book. :daydream:
Nice bunch of finds Coinnut. <:
Looks to be a great place to hunt.
:clapping: :clapping:
 
Nice George! I just hope you didn't see me in the black lincoln town car with black shades watching from afar.
