    A 1st for me .

    went down to Mt . Vernon Iowa to play some music with a friend today , told me i could go look in his daughters , yard , vacant ,up for sale , ground was kinda hard in some spots , but i got my 1st seated dime a 1882 and 2 wheats and this token , says Look aniversary 25 ,,, also stopped and took some photos of a bunch of eagles on the ground , they are always in the same spot , i think the farmer throws out entrails and other things for them to eat ,

    sorry about the quality of the coin shots , the seated is in pretty good shape

    Wow, congrats on the seated dime, Dave! Is that your first seated coin of any kind? You need to tell your coins not to move while you're trying to take their picture! lol

    That's a very cool shot of the bald eagles too! I've never seen that many together before. In fact, we don't see them very often at all here in central Illinois.

    Congrats on the seated dime! I still have not found one of those yet! The sight of all those eagles in one spot is cool! Certainly are a lot more eagles over by you along the Mississippi than over this way.

    nice seated dime and you already have a seated quarter and 1/2 dime. Next up is the 1/2 dollar. I don't think that I have ever seen a flock of eagles before, cool pictures

    Congrats on your first Seated dime Dave. thumbsup01 It was only a matter of time before you found one.

    Gotta love detecting in January. We're headed out shortly to finally give it a whirl too. If things go as planned... we'll be hunting some really old ground today.

    I'm assuming you'll be out today... good luck. thumbsup01
