I'm a happy man !!! I went hunting with my Friend Ryan early this morning , 6:30 am . We hunted two schools and one old park . The park is one that I have been wanting to hunt for some time now . It's a about a 30 - 40 minute drive so this is why I have not got around to hunting it . I know that doesn't sound far but I have many closer places to hunt . I'm glad I finally got to it . We hunted a school first and I found 14K gold ! It was a eyeball find . We were walking from one field to the next and I was looking down and saw the glint of gold in the grass . It is a nice 14k bracelet that weighs 3 grams . After hunting for an hour or so we moved on to the old park . The back part looks like it had a house at one time , lots of large trees , no grass . I got a mixed target at 5-6 inches . It had a high tone and a low tone , +74 and +30 . As I was digging I saw a older pull tab ring pops out , that was the low tone . I put my probe down in the hole and had a strong +77 , +78 . I dug about two more inches and out pops silver ! I could not believe it , my 4 ever Seated coin ! It's a very worn 1877 CC dime ! It's my first ever CC coin . We hunted a little longer and then Ryan went home and I moved on to the next school . I found a real junky ring # 114 and some more clad .
After 3 plus hours I went home , SWEET HUNT ! :peace:
Total clad was $11.79 .

Nice eyeball find on that chunk of gold thumbsup01 Congrats on that Seated too. It is still in decent shape. I have found some that are worn so thin. Great hunt :clapping: It will take a good hunt to beat that one next time around lol No pressure ;)
