I took a friend to the other lake, he found 1853 Seated Dime!

I took my buddy Bill, who has detected with me a hand full of times. We went to my other lake that I take my boat on. He uses my AT Pro, so today I told him to try and just keep going unless you hear something real good, coin wise, because this was his second time in the water. I figured out the first time he went he was banging the coil on the rocks so much he was getting a lot of false signals. So I had been coaching and tried to get him to cherry pick. I asked him which direction he wanted to hunt and I was going to head the other way. I ground balanced the AT Pro for him then I started firing up my Deus, I looked over and seen he was starting to scoop something. I was thinking, "man that was fast I hope he has a good target" I went over and said, " did you get a coin number? He said " yeah it says 80. I checked half assed and I seen 91 on my Deus. "It's a penny", I said "better dig that one". I then turned and started to head the other way. I heard him say "Brad, I think I found my first good find" . I turned around And he was a few steps away from me, but I could see that tell tale "gray of silver in the lake look". I told him that's silver Bill, what kind is it? He said I don't know. When he handed it to me and I looked I couldn't believe I was looking at a Seated, I got so excited I was yelling "Bill it's a Seated, it's a Seated!" He didn't even know what that was. We were high fiving and the whole time he thought I was just messing with him, lol. I had to explain to him that in the three years Iv'e been doing this that I had only found four coins that were Seated. I'm so happy he found it and it looks great, nice detail. Later on I found a 1952 licence plate and a cool flower tag, wait until you see my flower tag.

Only kidding moderators.

Thanks guys, sorry J Cache, just in case it mattered to you weather or not it was a dime or half dime. I found a Seated Half Dime last fall and posted it on facebook, one of my friends (a non- detectorist) kept kidding about it asking does that make it a nickle or is it a half dime? He a few months later seen an old nickle I posted and wanted to know if it was a half dime. Haaaaaaaaaa lol
My buddy would not know proper etiquette to buy me dinner, besides the fact that his wallet has not seen the outside of his pocket but only once or twice a week (not that I would even let him buy me anything) Too bad I didn't have a video, he was and still is clueless as to what he found, lol

Barbers were the oldest until this one, I have been since last summer thinking one or two might pop up in this lake, I have yet to go where he was and check up behind him. Once he found that I cleared from there and gave him some room, I went fifty yards away.
