Hello Everyone,

Today, I went to the same newer permission as yesterday it was windy and cold, a far cry from yesterday’s beautiful weather. The finds were not as plentiful, but interesting nevertheless. I did manage to dig a slight whisper signal on the Minelab Explorer SE that turned out to be a damaged 1856 seated half dime :hello2:; also found a toasted wheat cent and a nice flat button. The other finds were a lead bale seal, a few rivets with leather, an intact bullet, a few modern coins and some metal items.

Thank you for looking.

GL & HH

You’re crazy Mr. Professor. I like it! I got a CTX for its weatherproof capability. In Seattle you’ve gotta be willing to dig in the rain, snow, cold and general darkness if you want to get out half the year. I appreciate your tenacity!

Nice job Professor. Any Seated coin that is identifiable is a good coin.
