    Dirtfishing in Connecticut - April 15, 2011 - Seated Half Dime and more!

    Hello all!

    I headed to a foundation that dates to the late 1700s... I was here 2 weeks and recovered an baby head KG II... Today was nice... mid 50s, sunny with a slight breeze...

    1st keeper recovered was a musket ball... not to deep... it was 12/28 till I dug the plug then it read 12/31...



    I worked the field a little then decided to work along the old road... and I'm glad I did... This was a choppy signal, but enough to peak my interest...

    1853 w/Arrows Seated Liberty Half Dime (Holed)... These suckers are small and thin... No wonder why they are so elusive...



    Next recovery was right next to a tree and under a root... I am used to finding the reeds... not the rest :-) A clover harmonica...



    This 1903 Indian is amazing! It was in lose dirt just 3 inches down... My 11th Indian Head for the year...



    Totals:



    HH ALL!

    Wow... another great bunch of keepers from you.
    A great big congrats on the half dime. I'll bet you
    were pleasantly surprised to see what that choppy signal produced.
    The 1903 IH is in beautiful shape... just beautiful.
    Well done Paul.
