I dug my first seated dime in January at 'toasted's ridiculous seated silver field of dreams. But Ray Charles could find seated silver there with a divining rod, so I consider this one to be my first legit seated find. Signal was a 12-42 and deep. Came from around 8". Might have something to do with the rain we got last night.

Then I got a dime signal at around 4". Flipped the plug and pinpointed metal in the sidewall. Out came a sweet gold bracelet. It didn't even register on the e-trac in an air test, so it was a complete luck find (the dime was in the plug).

Then I got this sterling watch back. Says "Philadelphia Watch Case Co"..."Sterling"

Wrapped it up with a Sacagawea Dollar spill and a sweet screw

You really have to love those bonus gold chain finds. I have found numerous ones underwater fanning for one target and seeing a gold chain. You have to wonder how many you are missing because no other targets are around also. SAD!! Nice finds.

Well, I guess your slump is over,, lol
I am trying very hard to locate the New Jersey Mint Mark on that Seated Dime, but I can't find it anywhere.
Congrats on the Gold and the Screw.

Hard to believe how you lucked up on that gold Murray. Any seated (in my eyes) is a great find, no matter where it's dug. You surely had a great day and still a little giddy.
