Finally got out today... its been a month! thumbsup01 Headed to an old picnic grounds that Joe and I have hunted before on several occasions. I had a little luck today and found myself an 1854 seated dime. In 10 years of dectecting that is the oldest dime I've ever found. It's wore pretty bad, but you can still see the date. So I'm satisfied just finding it. Found eight other wheats, nothing wonderful, but all in all I had a good day out. It felt good holding the machine again. We wanted to post a picture of it, but between my wife and I, it didn't work out very well as you can tell, NO PICTURE! But just wanted to share my news. Thanks for reading.
