Had a few hours to hunt some old wagon trails, met a fellow hunter for a while and then went to find another spot where i had better luck before. First find was this 1880s oil lamp hanger, I had a hell of a time digging it out from a root the size of my arm, then about 10 ft' away i got a nice 9" deep coin hit, out pops a nice 1840 seated dime, this is my 2nd 1840 silver from this spot, about 3yrs ago i found an 1840 half dime here among other things.

Third? post for a seated today!!! I better get out and dig my first. A 19th or 18th�� century silver is my last reasonably achievable goal. A barber quarter would be nice too or another silver half. A 18th century American copper perhaps. Nevermind There's a lot more things I want to dig

Awesome finds dimes in great shape
im surprised you didnt hear me yelling to you guys, :tongue3: but you had headphones on,..this was to the right of those dirt trails, theres a small section there where all the trees are less then 60yrs old, I think they parked their buggies there and did trading. Those dirt trails used to be a East-West road,
