I got two hours today to get out so I went to one of my favorite spots and decided to dig anything that even sounded like it wanted to sound good. The first ten seconds out of the truck I got a rough signal that bounced nice and was deep. The pin pointer found a chunk of iron and I pulled it out. I went back over the hole with the Garett and I heard the ding I was looking for. I was shocked a 1853 half dime. I started metal detecting four years ago. I’ve been cut, stood up and locked up but today I finally got sat down.
Yep I walked by that rough bouncy signal at least ten times before but today I decided to dig it.

I think that finding your first Seated Liberty coin in the dirt is one of the sweetest moments. You got a pretty one, too.
