Sunday evening I went to an old park that dates back to the 1850's or so. I have never found a seated there but I have had a fair amount of success over the years and I know that there has to be lots of old deep coins there. I also wanted to try out the new Equinox update that is supposed to help find deep high conductors like silver and copper. I had a fantastic hunt there and I will post all the finds another day but this bucket lister below showed up just as I was going to head to the local beach to look for some gold.
It was in a area I have gone over before so perhaps I just missed it or perhaps it was partially masked by another target...its a trashy area. Came in at a 30 in one direction and 26-27 the other direction and about 8 inches deep.
I picked it up and saw that it was a seated dime but it was too dirty to see the date and the other side was completely caked with dirt. When I got to the car to rinse it with some water I was in shock to see that it was a love token!
Can anyone decipher the text? My wife has a calligraphy book but not sure what the letters are...or even which way is right side up. I think the top pic of the etching is the one that is the right side up. My guess is GEF.
