Found a Little lady and Green Dandy!

[zaxfire69]

Hello folks. I went out detecting the other day and had a killer day. Found several flat buttons and lots of iron. Was walking along and had a strong high tone on the old ATPro. I dug down and saw a tiny silver coin in the hole. Took it out and saw that lovely lady looking at me. SEATED SILVER! Turns out it was an 1839 Half Dime. Tiny coin...Only the second one I have ever dug. Showed its age well. Only a scratch or two. Walked along and then another sweet sound...dug my plug and saw a big Green Flat button looking back at me. First thought...GW button...But I don't think so. But it is an ole Dandy button. It was hot and the Gnats and Mosquitos tried to carry me off! Glad to have found some great relics. I will post more pictures of the other items I found after I get them cleaned up. Thanks for looking everyone. Happy Hunting! zaxfire69

Thank you guys. I love the Deep Green patina as well. I would love to see it cleaned up a little more. I have some more buttons that need cleaning and some nice iron that is in the hot tank right now.

I would brave the knats and mosquitoes for finds like that!

I braved it for about 4 hours or so. By 9 am it was 90+ Degrees with 95% humidity. I had on insulated Snake boots, blue jeans and a T-shirt. I heated up fast. Where I was hunting the Copperhead snakes love to hide in the grass. Down here in Mississippi you gonna have that. Snakes, Gnats and Mosquitos.
