    Liberty Seated Dime

    Well I decided to go back to my honey hole for some detecting. As I got ready I looked over in the corner and I thought I heard my mxt sob I thought heck I will just take both my hunting dogs lol It look like it was going to rain on me but I hoped to get a few hours in. I started going over the same area that my etrac went over. Got a quarter signal dug down a piece of iron Walk four foot a dime signal dug down another piece of iron I am thinking there is something wrong here . I slid my control cover back and noticed my switch was set to lock >:/ I had ground balanced Pryor to hunting but did not think to look. so off I go and noticed it sounded like it was suppose to. I started off where the house once sat before they moved it back. Got a penny signal dug down a penny just clad but it is working. I dug a few penny's a dime quarter and a nickel all in the same area a small pocket spill. To bad it was all just common glad but I will take it battery money. I walk about 20 ft or so and get a penny dime signal and it was deep. For you whites owner it was a whisper just a slight change in threshold. Dug down to 6 inches chasing the signal . Still could not find it but hear it with my sun-ray probe. Dug another 4 inches and there it was but what was it? To me it looked smaller than a dime and was black. I did not think it was silver because it normally comes out shiny . I did the old spit and rub and seen a date 1886 started to tremble and seen the seated lady. Got up and started to do the happy dance when I noticed a car was driving real slow beside me. Thought I had better not and just said hi how you during lol Besides the seated I found a wheat 56 and common clad. Think I will start taking both my rigs whenever I go hunting. H.H. y'all
