Hey folks,

I’ve been on the quest to find a Seated Dime lately. I drove to a far away town today and landed permission to an 1886 house on a massive lot. I spent 4 hours there today and only covered 20% of the land.

I feel pretty confident it hasn’t been hit before which is so nice. Most of the permissions I land seem like they’ve been worked before.

My first silver coin of the day (and year) was a 1900 Barber Dime. I also found a 1934-D merc, 1901 Indian, 5 Wheats (including a 1913-S) and a Spanish 1 Peseta from 1944.

This yard is loaded with targets so I managed some other fun odds and ends as well. I’m aiming to get back there Friday, hopefully more to report then!

Congrats on your first silver of 2019. Looks like that site will keep you busy for a while. I'm rooting for you to find a seated dime this year.

Hi, wow congrats on all the nice finds and the silver coin. :occasion14: I also love that toy plane. In my 5 years of hunting i have only found 3 toy plane wings. Never a complete plane. It is on my bucket list.
