I finally found a seated dime 1889s and I am stoked. It was found at a old razed home. It is very tough hunting due to all the iron in the ground but I am digging it all, the dirt is soft. When I swung the coil over the dime, I knew it was good, but I was not at the least expecting a seated dime. However it is my best silver coin find this year and it is absolutely stunningly gorgeous. Probally lost right after mint. I just love how silver holds its own after being in the ground over 100 years.

very nice. I'm hoping I have some luck with my latest search for properties to hunt. I have a 1905 farm house with an open ended invite, and a new 1858 house in a historic location..

Nice finds and Happy Hunting.

Very nice seated dime, Nove. She is a beauty. The detail is very clear. I'm sure it wasn't in circulation very long ::)
