Sometimes, this hobby just plain is crazy.

Final pics of a beautiful lady.

The plan today was to run a few errands, fuel the car and then go to
clad city for some fun walking around and picking up more battery fund.

So, whilst running the last errand, "I was on my way back to the car". I passed by the coinstar just to check
as per usual. This is what I found in the tray:



LOL



To boot! This was in among them.

I couldn't believe it! LOL
When I got back to the car, I said, a pocket full of clad, a Canadian penny, AND a SILVER!!!
I have no need to go to clad city. Already got more than I bargained for there! So, what to do?

I decided that since I already had the battery fund contribution and even a silver! I'm already
good for the day. Still, I wanted to do a lil digging. I went to the mansion for a leisurely walk and
to complete an already wonderful day.

One thing about this mansion. It now forces one to think hard where to try. So, I'm wandering around this particularly
trashy spot near where the old road used to be. I only get a few hits worth digging, between all the iron.

One is deep, short and read at about 78. If I milked the signal I could catch an 80 once in a while. I said, close enough for
govt work and got down to digging. Eight inches later I see this:




I said, huh??! But it was only 78!

This is what uncovered:






Now, I ask ya. Ain't that beautiful?!?!

Now, let's review:

Guess which one I choose?

Deserving it? Well, that I'm not so sure about.
There is a slightly darker spot around the shield but I don't see anything resembling rust. All I've done is run some
distilled water over her. Nothing else. It is absolutely stunning as it is and I've seen a LOT of coins over the years!

Oh! You probably mean the spot at the bottom? No, that's an old nick, not from me. This was near the old road bed. Lots of
rocks in there. Still, I should hope I look as good after 176 years.

Thanks!

Awesome find.

Wow, what a day, Congrats!!

Maybe on your way home after your mansion visit you should have stopped somewhere and bought a few scratch offs. Lol
Gotta like days like that where everything goes your way...

Your dogged determination and masterful teasing of your ATPro have proven, yet once again, it is the user, not the machine, that finds the goods. Awesome scores Whadi, congrats.

That seated dime is SHARP!! Beautiful find

 

[CoinandRelicMan]

Very nice W ! Hope to detect one that nice and old too someday here

 

[Old Dude]

Another very nice find from you! I don't think you will ever stop going to that place..why should you?

 

[pepperj]

Great looking silver, it always seems to recharge the inner batteries when an old one pops out.

 

[RustyGold]

Great story! Awesome finds!

My motto will never change, Dig it All, every number,every sound.... glad your 39 wasn't overlooked like my 37

Actually, I tried doing that before. Find a couple dollars and play them on the lottery. Nothing to lose, right? But, it started feeling
too much like I was digging it up and throwing them in the trashcan when emptying my trash pouch.

It's like I've been saying. The best detector is the one in your hand at the moment. Although, this one needed some pretty good moxy to reach and determine it was a signal at all.

That seated dime is SHARP!! Beautiful find

It is the single sharpest one I have ever found. Near to being a miracle for being this sort of shape after what it's been through.

Very nice W ! Hope to detect one that nice and old too someday here

I think the odds are good if one just keeps -ing.

Another very nice find from you! I don't think you will ever stop going to that place..why should you?

I happened to see the owner today too and I told him that I would love to keep coming there until I'm "called home". I also told him that I intend
to keep coming back as long as he'll allow me. There is a lot of ground and although I've pretty much sampled it all, I KNOW that there is still the
level of hunting I needed there today, for me to do yet. I haven't been skimming but I haven't brought all "arms to bear", so to speak. As evidenced
by this coin and the barber quarter earlier this year. The harder to hunt areas are what I'm concentrating on now and it really is a bear! But, with a result
like this once in a moon? It'll be very interesting!

Great looking silver, it always seems to recharge the inner batteries when an old one pops out.

You're right, it does. But, I have something else here. My batteries get recharged simply by stopping for a moment and looking around me.
It's like being transported back to that time. Wonderful!

Great story! Awesome finds!

It is, isn't it. Makes it all worthwhile, ya know?

Yep, and I agree, for the most part. But, seriously, with all the chatter a detector can make these days, if we dig it all. We might as well get a backhoe and a screen. There'd be little difference between us and plowing a yard. I do wind up digging it all, just not all at the same time. After all, I paid good, hard money for the technology to help me be able to maybe not dig. Like, say, the iron, today anyway. LOL

My thanks to all the wonderful replies! That too, makes the day even more special. That I can share it with people who appreciate the miracle of finding something
this special.

 

[Scrappy]

What a day! It just don't get better than that. It's no wonder were all hooked, constantly looking for overlooked old houses and old dirt.

Great finds and the 1839 is a beauty. I found an 1839 that looks to have been circulated for 30 years. Yours looks great!

Congrats
