Hi, It's been a LONG time since I've been on here and honestly I forgot about it till I was directed to the site a few days ago.

We had permission to detect a 120 year old private yard. WOW ;D We were digging wheat cents after wheats. Then I came across an 1899 Indian cent. But the best find of the day was my 1890 Seated Liberty dime. Here's a few of the "goodies" that I took out of the yard the first day. The second pic is what I found the second time around. I also found a 1912-D and 1913-S wheat cent in very good condition. And we've still got a lot to do there. Gotta love this hobby!!! Thanks for looking.

Nancy

Thanks for the compliments... Oh my, I would have to dig deep for the items, coins I've found since I've last posted on here. I'd be able to get the "keeper" coins that I carded, but lots of the so called treasures, are in LARGE jars that we keep around and baby, that's work! They're packed.

Well done, Nancy--
Congratulations on your first Seated coin.

I remember my first seated and how excited I got.

The Indian came out really nice. Most the ones I pull here in Oregon are pretty well toast.

You keep up the good work!

Thanks for all the wonderful comments. Hopefully we'll be able to go hunt some more old sites today with all the humids (humidity) around. Sure is hot here. Could use some rain again.

Nancy-
Great group of finds. PM me sometime if you and the hubby want to get together to hunt. I am between Bloomington and Champaign. Should only be a short drive either way.
