Seated Half Dimes - Seated Dime - Copper +
« on: March 10, 2012, 10:02:03 pm »
Today I met up with John (midas) to enjoy a day of detecting. The weather was pleasant, the park was quiet, and the finds were sweet.    8X

John did well with the Indian head cents, picking up about 12. He also dug up two silver coins, a 1851 three cent piece (trime) and a 1853 seated half dime. He will likely post his finds tomorrow.

For my part, I scored with nine silver coins, three of them seated coins, a dime and two half dimes. I also dug up seven badly corroded Indian Head cents, seven wheat cents, and a 1831 large cent.




The seated coins do look great together.    xo)










The large cent held up better than the others I have dug the past few days. It makes my 25th copper this year.








Have a happy weekend everyone!

Just when I think you can't possibly keep up that incredible streak!  Unreal!    :8O

It seems that you hit a homerun with every hunt, Angel!  Those seated coins are breathtaking!     :)`

And at least you found actual half dimes, unlike me!    lol

It sounds like John had a decent day too.  Man, you guys both had sweet hunts! 

Spectacular!    |8()

Thanks Tony!    ;B

I had three great consecutive days; the hunts were fun for sure.   :y    John and I may have some time tomorrow afternoon to swing the coil, and we are hoping to score with a few more old coins. After that my detecting time will likely be cut short, but at least I had a few awesome hunts.    :y


:o  Another super incredible hunt.  |8()  You have had an amazing week Angel.  ;B

Those seated coins do look gorgeous together.  xo)  Two half dimes in one hunt is something else.  :)`

They do look great together, don't they.    :y    Those half dimes are so much fun to find.      :{}

That's right! Don't give up!    O0    I think you will surprise yourself soon enough.    :{}


Three seated in one day: great hunt.
How deep were the seated?
Thanks for the post.

Many of the coins have been on the deep side, 8" or more, with the large cents easily hitting at the 10+ level.     :y


:}~ ^_^ You are a silver magnetr Angel  |8()
What's your silver count for 2012 so far?
As always your finds are amazing. HH

Well, as it was last year, this year I have been trying to concentrate on old coins in general, not necessarily silver as I did in 2010. So when time allows I am trying to hit sites that will yield such coins. Still, I haven't done bad on the silver count, digging up 63 so far.    :y    I have actually been on a Indian Head cent kick however.     lol


Angel, I have to tell you that your posts are now getting boring rofl. Always seated, capped, LC, IH's, its always the same old thing rofl. Really now huge congrats on some fantastic hunting.

But I like that kind of boring Al.    lol    I admit that it tends to spoil one though.     lol


Oh, just 9 silvers with some seated thrown in, and a Lc for good measure 8/

Great finds Angel!

yooks Like you and John had a great time cleaning up that park...how nice of you lol

And I still wanted more, so it was hard leaving the park.    rofl


Awesome hunt Angel  ^_^  You are totally killing it this season.

Thanks Randy!    ;B    I'm just glad to get in some sweet early hunts.    :{}
