    Lord, they don't come easy!

    Hi folks! Well, I've been lazy getting my finds up on the forum, so there is this one from the end of April and another post is from today's hunt.

    This hunt was a second visit to the area I found my first Seated dime at. Well, after searching high and low, I was ecstatic to find another Seated dime!! <: This one is from 1876 CC, making it my oldest silver to date. I also found an 1892 Indian penny and a cool old button with what looks like a hog or bull or something on it.

    And as you can see, the dime came along with a pouch full of trash, making them buggers hard to get. Thanks and happy hunting!

    It's worth a pouch full of trash if you can find a Seated Dime! Especially a CC!

    when i first saw that seated in the picture i though you took the picture next to a moral mushroom about scared me,i know its your glove though!Morals are even harder than seated dimes.Ive heard rumors about people finding morals but they are harder to find than a capped dime!No joke.Great find!

    Looks like a tough place to hunt. Glad you were persistent! The CC dime is sweet and the details and patina on that indian are superb!

    Rubbish is the price of admission we ALL PAY for the goodies we find and the thrill of getting an old piece outweighs it 100 times over for me!.....
