1877 CC Seated

hogge · Jul 19, 2009

Had a good hunt today with my brother and Roz. Had to walk about 1&1/2 miles while braving swarms of horseflies, but at least this made it worth it. The trigger guard I found is HUGE. Never seen one this big. My guess is from an early 1700's flintlock rifle. Someone may want to chime in on this one. Found a Geocache under a small bridge we had to cross. We signed the log book. We were about 3 hrs. into the hunt, when Roz and Bri got board and sat down. They were talking about calling it a day, so I grabbed my detector and started detecting the side of the trail.( right where Roz had just detected

). Started getting a solid penny hit on my Prism 4 at about 6". When I pulled that dime out, those guys were T'D OFF! Seeing as how I found it about 10' from where they were sitting :laughing9:

You can just barely see the tops of the "CC" mint mark in the scan. Trust me they are there. Pretty cool having a Carson City mint mark found in Ma. This coin traveled a long way to get here. The Hoggester

Ah yes, always nice to nail one close to the competition. That's what they get for getting bored. :headbang:

Few weeks ago I made a stellar button find. Told my buddy where I found it(under teh canopy of an old downed tree), and his face fell. "I sat down on that tree the last time we were out there. You mean i sat on it..."

Excellent dime, I want to find some seated too

. Way to go

That coin no doubt has a good story to tell of its travels. Last summer i was hunting a bean field in Southeast Missouri and popped out an 1876-CC dime, which i thought was unusual

Buzzy, Exellent find! He who does his time makes the find .Call me ! I am itching to go out again with you guys. Did you have a chance to look at the army-navy token? I hope That you could still see the writing on it all I did was wash it with water.
