1st Silver of 2009 AND She's sittin' down!!!!!!

Hey All, I picked up a used Tesoro Silver Umax this week on Ebay and took it for it's maiden voyage to a local park after work tonight and what a great move that turned out to be. This was just going to be a play session to start learning the machine, the sounds and the discrimination settings. I was there for about 30 minutes and hit a breaking sound that turned out to be a '48 wheatie, I lowered the discrimination just a tad and a few minutes later got a smooth repeatable signal that turned out to be this 1891 seated liberty dime. She's a little worse for the wear and has some spots on her but she looks pretty sweet for 118 years old. I pulled it out at a measured 6" deep.

Nice find. I'm still looking for my first silver of the year.

Thanks everybody, silver sure makes the hours worthwhile, eh?

Hey Jeff, apparently there was a good bit of activity at old Stoney in the late 1800's, both my seated dimes came from an area about 50 yards apart.

Looks good, that Umax will pay for itself in no time with finds like that.
