1ST SILVER!!! (1845 Seated Dime) Woo Hoo!!!

gmu4me · Nov 7, 2006

Well.... after more than a year of relic hunting I finally found my first silver coin.... an 1845 Seated Dime (Philly). I found it in an area that I have been over soo many times before. I use a Whites MXT that I usually keep in Relic Mode. BUT today decided to hunt with it switched it over in Prospecting mode... very different (and successful) results.. Now I cant wait to get back out there and re-cover all the fields that I normally hunt in Relic Mode.....

I am including a pic of the coin and of the bullets that I have picked up over the past month..

Thanks for visiting my post!! :-)

Don't think I've ever seen a seated dime before. Congrats on your first Silver.
It's in great shape. Hope you get to pull more of them out of the ground. Good Luck!

That is an exciting find for sure! Nice one, too.

My first silver was a Roosevelt... in fact it went right up the progression of rarity, into Mercs and then Barbers, until I finally found my first Seated last week. Weird when you think about it, there's no reason why it should go in that order.

Congrats & HH

Nice find. Yep, my first silver was a 43 Merc and it was bent.

Congrats, and now you've got me thinking as to what my first silver find was. Probably a merc, but that was 25 years ago, I can say that it was quite some time before I found a seated dime and as of 5 years ago, an 1823 bust dime is my oldest coin. What a way to start out on the silver, woo hoo!!
