Dime Grand Slam

[Rgorman]

Last Tuesday, June 18th, there was a break in the weather and woke up early and said I'm playing hooky from work today to find an old coin or two.

I arrived at the sight I'd been wanting to hunt, fired up the E-Trac and hoped for a good day! And it was! Within the first 10 minutes I found a beautiful 1900 barber dime, at about 6 inches! :wow:
Soon after, I found 2 Mercs, a 1040D and a 1918 D. I knew it was going to be a GOOD day!

It slowed up some, found a few wheats and bang! At 10 inches I found the Seated dime! 1876S. A nice coin to find. I was starting to think, I'm sitting on a trifecta, all I need is the Rosie for the superfecta!

Sure enough, about an hour later, there it was! The dime Superfecta was complete! A Rosie finally came up. :happydance01:

I found a bonus coin, 1909S wheatback cent, but the mint forgot to put the VDB on the back, lol I guess I need to send it back to get stamped, but what a thrill to find one!

Also found a 1918 Buffalo nickel, and an 1899 indian head, and several other wheats!!

A great 3 1/2 hour hunt. Some days it pays to play hooky! Thanks for reading!

Man, now that is some hunting right there. I've gotten the dime hat trick a few times but never a grand slam. I can only dream! Congrats on a great hunt!

What an amazing hunt, Ron! :wow:

A dime grand slam is a rare accomplishment indeed! You must have really been concentrating hard to get that seated dime at 10 deep. That's awesome!

A 1909-S wheat cent is a great find too! I've yet to find one.

Congrats on your incredible day!

Sorry I'm late on this buddy... :blush: A dime grand slam is very, very hard to come by here in Iowa.

Especially getting one in public grounds. :yes: Congratulations to you Ron.

p.s. Turn off the Minelab and fire up your old machines. :yes: lol ... at least until I can hunt again. :detecting:

Great hunt!

Nice detail on that 1909 S too. :wow:

I would have been having a heart attack from the suspense of looking for the VDB on the back. lol

I would have convinced myself it was there even if it wasn't :hysterical:
