    Last week V3i hunt barbers, 1838 O seated more

    Past weeks hunt with the V3i yielded 2 Barber dimes, 2 Seated dimes 1877 and 1838 O. 5 Indian heads, 6 Buffalos, Silver Ring, Silver Earring, Silver Nickel and a cruddy round ball of lead. All finds were beyond the 7 inch mark. I think I should turn the sensitivity down, as it's too much work to dig the deep ones. lol

    Those are some very nice digs John. You weren't kidding about that worn 1838-O seated dime. Still, she will fit perfectly in the Seated Dime album.

    I used a brass brush on them. It turned them golden color.

    If I was able to dig those kinds of oldies in a week... I'd be on cloud nine.
