Carson City Seated, Mercs and Indian Heads

[jkress]

Yep... I am taking full advantage of the week off and incredible weather.

Around 5:00 tonight I headed back to the park I found a Seated dime last night. First target out was an IH and a short while later
I was digging my way down to the 1877 dime. Just couldn't believe I found another one. After running it under water I searched for the mint mark and was even more surprised to see I had my first Carson City coin in hand.
When the 1916 came out, I waited for a moment before flipping it over... wondering if I could be that lucky? I wasn't.




Earlier this morning Dave and I went out for a couple of hours. This token and two wheats were all I managed during our time together.


Obviously I have a new favorite park to spend much more time getting to know.

Another seated dime you need to stake that park out and spend the entire week. Congrats on some great saves.

Way to take advantage of the weather and time off. Keep hitting that park, no doubt there are some more gems hiding there. Congrats to you!

[aloldstuff]

Great recoveries. A seated CC is really cool. Huge congrats on all those finds

[jkress]

Thank you everyone. I am still amazed I added two seated coins to my collection from a park.

Another seated dime you need to stake that park out and spend the entire week.

I wonder if they will let me pitch a tent there?

(If you start going south of Zwingle, I might have to kill you lol )

I promise not to go any further south than Delmar. lol

What does the CC silver dance look like??

They certainly don't teach it in school. lol

I'd be falling in love with that park too if I were you

Oh I have. I've been to this park twice before... just never hunted this section.

no doubt there are some more gems hiding there.

Thanks Darren. I sure hope there is more there waiting for me.

Another beautiful lady! That park is being good to you, Joe. There will be more there waiting for you to recover. I do love the way the Indian Head cents come out from that soil so well-preserved.

[RobW]

Those are some great finds and that 16' Merc is in great shape!

[dave in iowa]

Great findsJoe , one day ill find another silver i hope , way to go my friend

[tanacat]

Excellent hunting there Joe!!! Those are some beautiful coins, esp great job cleaning the IH's. That 1905 looks extra fine

lol @ pitching a tent out there... I could totally do that myself- I'm already looking forward to retirement so I can MD full-time rofl

...I'm laughing because I have about 20 more years until I retire

Big congrats to you Joe! Sweet looking IHs. I wish they came out looking like that around here.... The firestone token is way cool too <:

[coinnut]

Joe, Joe, Joe... You won't be able to hunt it out in time. We are already getting the caravan together and we will all be there in 2 days. lol Great looking CC Seated dime and congrats on your second one But I don't know why you were suprised that they would come out of a park I think someone already told us where they are all hiding...not mentioning any names lol If that '16 Merc had a &quot, it would have been an unbelievable condition one Great hunt |)

[milco]

OOOOooooohhhh! AaaaawwwHHHH!! Just had to stop back and look again, man those are nice old coins!
