    Three first's.... one hole Seated and Barber Half's and seated dime !!!!

    Hi all,Got out to an old foundation site today for abit.This site is in front of my brothers house and I've been there quite a few times and never found much to speak of till today.I stopped to see my brother and decided to give it another shot.As I was heading out I told my brother that there had to be something good there and that some day I was going to find it....well not 15 min's later I was in shock !!!!! I first found two penny's that I think are Indians.Then as I was following a deer trail I got a good hit and was thinking modern quarter......then I flipped the plug and it was still in the hole so I'm thinking cool mabey a large cent.Dug down about 8 inches and saw a large silver coin !!!! Picked it up and saw the eagle....first I'm thinking OMG it's a draped bust half !!! I dident want to wipe it so I was going to run to the house and clean it but cheaked the hole again....bingo another signal !!! Out popped a seated liberty half !!!! So now I'm freakin out and ran to the house to see what I had.Cleaned em up abit and saw that the draped was actualy an 1892 Barber half and the seated was an 1875 cc half then I whent back...cheaked the hole and had a weak signal down deep.....dug an 1887 seated dime !!! All three are coins that I have never found in all my years of detecting.....I'm going back shortly !!!!!

    I just can't seem to take my eyes off of those coins. They are beautiful! Did you find an identity on the two pennies?

    Re: Three first's.... one hole Seated and Barber Half's and seated dime !!!!

    Thanks y'all.Man I would have been thrilled to just find the dime.....I been lookin for onea thous for a looooong time ! Found a seated quarter last year but realy wanted that dime ! I got the coins cleaned up and the Barber still has mint luster.....but I put a very small scratch just above the headband.I just recently got a used explorer xs and am having a problem pinpointing.

    I whent back this afternoon and dident find anything else......but I did get a nice silver dime signal up under some tree roots.I dident want to scratch it so I'm going back when I get the sunray probe.
