Friday Hunt

[bob_e99]

I didn't know what to expect after my last hunt although I was pretty sure it wouldn't be repeated. Not many targets at this site but it does give up a few nice finds. I can only imagine what was found by the folks who got to detect it first back in the days. In any case, about 2 hours into the hunt I manage a seated dime <: which is only my second so I'm pretty happy. The coin was covered in dirt BUT this time I carefully flaked off a bit to see the silver underneath after which I put it in my pocket and cleaned it at home. It appears to be in pretty good condition and a year older than my first seated dime.

Thanks for looking and as always, good hunting.

Very nice find!

You're on fire, Bob!

What a nice seated dime! Not much wear on it at all. It must have been dropped not long after 1877. It even has the raised ridge at the top of the rim on the obverse, a high spot that would have been the first thing to wear off.

Man, that handshake from Dan really did give you some good luck! lol

I was thinking the same thing after I found the seated dime. I'm thinking of a big hug next time I meet him. lol Maybe that'll bring me some BIG silver lol

Thats one sweet Seated Liberty |, great detail left. I agree with Tony must have been dropped before 1880!

Great looking coin If I knew Dan had magical elf powers, I would have shook his hand years ago lol Hey, if you hug him, he may even let out some gold :hysterical: Not often someone new to the hobby can say they have 2 Seated coins Great job!

Yikes! Two seateds in as many hunts! That is something to be giddy about, no doubt. It seems no you are the one with the luck! I was only able to get out for one short hunt this weekend and it was a bust.

I'm going to ask what you have always asked me... How come you never to me to this great new spot on one of our hunts together? HMMMM lol lol
