Steve and I got out this Saturday and Sunday for 2 morning hunts. Been a while since we did some serious detecting with work keeping us busy. Got permission to detect 3 sites, on an old tavern site and the two other being colonial houses. Just went up and knocked on the door and the home owners said have fun! Found some nice silver: 1882 Seatedand a 1944 Merc and a button that i'm trying to identify. Happy hunting all

the weather has finally been inviting to detecting huh mikecongrats on your finds , the seated is a very nice example with great detail and the button is a great seal type that started in 1902 . the U.S. Army still uses that design to this day . |

Love that Seated dime!!!
Mike, with all these new private property sites and the other secret spots, I think we're set for a couple of years worth of hunting.
Super finds buddy!
Having fun is what it is all about!
Man that seated is pretty! Congrats on some great hunting!

Wow, I wish it was that easy getting permission all the time. I agree with you all . That's definitely a nice Seated Dime, better than a lot that are non-dug.
I bet that nice Button will clean up really nice also. I can almost see a back mark. I bet a little soap and water will do the trick. I'm sure there's some more goodies there still.

Very nice finds.

Nice work.

Those are some very nice finds. The seated dime is particularly beautiful.
Nice finds. You didn't mention the bell though. To me that would have been the find of the day.
Try as I might I can't seem to find one. Huge congrats.
Mike, Congrats on a great hunt lots of detail on the seated it's a great find.HHOriginally Posted by mike l link=topic=13860.msg146094#msg146094 date=1375040241
