2 seated, token, and a V nickel

[CarsonChris]

Through some research I believe I found where my great great grandparents house stood in the 1880's. This location is only accessible due to drought. Their home stood at the intersection of 2 wagon roads. I went with 2 friends and we had a good day.
My first find of the day was an 1851 seated dime. The dime was at the surface in a thick iron site. I believe the former location of a barn.
My friend Keith was working around some tree stumps nearby and he started finding tokens. I worked my way over and found my second find of the day, a trade token. After filling in my hole I swing my coil back over the hole and about a foot away get a solid twelve signal. Dig and out pops the 2nd V nickel I've ever found. 1899.
We continue searching the area and get a few hundred feet away and I get a screaming signal. Scratch down and uncover my first love token. A formerly 1864 dime.

Very nice hunt. Well done on the silver!
Can't enlarge the set of 4 pictures for some odd reason.

Those are awesome finds. Especially personal around your family’s old homestead!

Your great great grandparents likely held those coins and had them in their pockets. What great family relics!
