1870 10 Centimos from Spain

[The Dig Dig]

My 10 year old daughter came beepen with me this morning. Her headphone adaptor broke on her machine in the first 15 minutes so we decided to stay and hunt together. I was swinging my Whites XLT, I'd pinpoint a spot then she'd dig it & find the target with her Grrett pro pointer. She dug this out & quickly cupped her hands so I couldn't see, then she started jumping up & down while telling me "Daddy I don't know if you can handle this but I think we found a Seated Liberty." She showed me, we high fived then hugged, wasn't until we were in our truck leaving & looking at it that we realized it wasn't a Seated. After a few hours of research we discovered that's its a 1870 10 Centimos from Spain, made of bronze... It's the oldest coin I've/we've found in Fl so even though its not silver the fact it's a 144 years old & that I found it together with my daughter makes it one of our best finds & memories.

That's a really cool find. I need to find something like that with my 7 year old. Then maybe he would be more interested in tagging along and I would be able to get out to do more hunting!
