After a few years of detecting I finally found my first seated coin two weeks ago. It was a dime from 1875. So on Memorial Day I decided to go back to the same site.

In two hours I found a 1854 Seated Half Dime, another 1875 Seated Dime, a large cent and two Indian Head cents. All the coppers were too deteriorated to get dates. The site is a farm and the fertilizers are hell on the coppers.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

A 2-seated hunt instantly puts you into an elite status. You are the only member other than plehbah who ive seen post 2 seated from the same day :headbang: :headbang: :notworthy:

The Half Dime is twice as good condition as the whole Dime.
Nice looking seated ladies.
