Week of firsts and fabulous!

I got up the nerve to knock on a door to ask who owned adjacent vacant property and was given a name and number to call. I was generously given permission to keep anything I found (except for a 1943 copper penny if found....Did not..but did find a 1941!) I did find some old buckles from the 1800s, old nails, couple of newer. pocket knives, and......drumroll....a silver coin...1847 seated liberty dime in good shape! So thrilled.

Seated dime, Awesome sauce! congrats on getting the permission, that is half the battle

 

[Underwonder]

Yes...seeking private property was a first and I was so happy with the generosity of the property owner whom I never met and just had a phone conversation with! I donated to the Heritage Association in his honor.

That seated is in great shape! About as clear and unworn as you could ask for in a dig. Congrats

I'm happy your door knock became a productive permission. I too am blinded by that Seated dime, wow!

Yes, truly blessed as this was the first item I found after I hung up the phone with permission. It is so worn, I don't think it is sterling, but I treasure it just the same.
