Hey, guys, I decided to go on a short hunt today. Blitz and Zoyboy were going on a scouting mission, or so they told me they were going to. The 2 boys missed out on this one! Well, I decided to go to the large park in town. I found 3 Indian Head cents here earlier in the year, so I knew there was more to be found. My 1st find was a button that read at "Nickel". It was 3 inches deep. It has a small loop(shank) on the back of it. It looks to be late 1800s-early 1900s.
After the button, I found a few newer coins which I tossed into the bushes. About 2 hours into my hunt, I decided to hit another area of the park. This area showed a lot of promise. I was swinging my detector along a row of trees when I got a nice reading. The signal read at "Dime", but a small piece of trash near it made the signal not totally "smooth" sounding. It pinpointed at 4", so this one showed promise! I got down on my knee, dug a small hole, and placed the dirt on a towel. After that, I put my Vibra Probe over the dug-out dirt - that was when I saw the silver edge of a coin. I picked it up and wiped a little dirt off of it, and that was when I saw what I had found. It was an 1875-S Seated Liberty dime! I now have 3 Seated Liberty dimes this year (1854, 1875, 1875-S) !
So, Blitz and Zoyboy, am I an idiot for doing this park? Blitz and Zoyboy's words, "You are wasting your time." Ha ha ha, not bloody likely!
Big Bsco, you are catching me on the Indian Heads! I still have 41!
