It has been awhile since I have hunted or posted, but have gotten out the past month 3 or 4 times. Mainly hunting in beautiful downtown Tacoma. Did find a 1877 Seated Dime yesterday! I am still kind of shaking my head as they are rather rare finds for these parts. The 1855 French Dime has me scratching my head also. Although last spring I found a Barber Dime not to far from that spot so there is some old loot around. But finding any silver around here is really tough. The Brass Shell medallion I especially like and the Sea Tac Shipbuilding mail tag is a keeper. The bullet appears to have been fired out of an octagon barrel?? The large silver bracelet, is like huge. I can't imagine even wearing it. I found that on the old alley way of this property which is used quite heavily I'm sure after dark by the people who run around after dark. Anyway, using a 4" coil has been the only way I can navigate through the mess there. Also going very very slow.

WOW ~ very nice finds! That bracelette is a big ol' hunk of silver! Congrat's on the Seated Dime!

What are the tokens you found? I LOVE TOKENS!!

Oh those tokens were modern and and an electrocuted 50's good luck. It was so mangled I just wanted to see more detail. So not any good tokens like you guys fish out out down there!
