So I hunted an older school that has been good to me in the past for about three hours after work. Some clad, wheats and an older Japanese 1 yen coin(not pictured). This school is loaded with wheats but not many silver coins but I have found 4 silver items not coins here now with the newer silver locket tonight. It still had the picture inside too

I noticed that a tractor had driven through a very small piece of overgrown ground at my seated field. Not expecting much I headed over for a quick hunt before dark. I was hacking away at the compacted dirt searching for a okay but not great signal when I see a silver disk fly out of the hole. Obverse caked with dirt so I look on the back to see One Dime but wait there is a CC mint mark so it has to be Seated:headbang: This is the third CC dime to come from this field and Ive lost track of all the Seated Ive dug here

Thanks. Im glad somebody else can appreciate that find as much as I do. An 8 reales cob would be about the only thing I would take over it. :laughing7:

lol. If I could dig those kinds of buckles on each hunt, I'd be plenty content.

Congrats on the finds. The seated dime is nice and finding a cc is extra special. I wish I could find enough seated's to forget how many I have dug.LOL

Thanks. Around half of the over 20 seated to come from this field are 1876. This site had its peak activity just after that and they minted a lot that year
