My last day off on my 5 day detecting vacation. Spent 8 hours detecting with a buddy today. Dug my first seated dime (1855), an 1880 Indian, a bunch of wheaties (11), a few clad, a few buttons and a musket ball. It was a good day.

Thanks!
Sure, I can post more this evening. I would love to have it on the banner, but please don't include for coin of the month. I already won in January and I want others to be included to have a chance to win.
What do you mean arrows in the dates? Aren't they all like that? I guess that's a dumb question huh? lol
* i just Googled it - Arrows were added on each side of the date of this US dime to distinguish that these dime pieces were reduced in weight from 2.67 grams to 2.49 grams.
Thanks Digger!
Thank you!
Thanks!
