From the research I've done, I've matched it to this:

Liberty Seated Dimes Varieties 1837 - 1891 - 1839o_105page

It's in crazy-good condition, with tons of fine detail. The pictures don't do the color justice. It shines bright.

The tone was perfect, smooth, consistent, and repeatable. I knew it was something good after the second swing over the spot. Good times!

That is one bodacious excellent seated dime find & "CONGRATS" beautiful detail - what machine was you using and how deep was it? Thanks for sharing your pictures and I wish you many more great finds while out dirt fishing.

That's a real looker, congrats on finding such a sharp Seated! My one and only Seated is an 1838 (maybe 1839?), and it's about as slick as it gets. I'd love to find one like yours.
