My Buddy Jazdo called me last night and said they tore up another street, come dig it with me, he was out the night before to the same area and did pretty well!! I was there not 5 minutes and dug the Barber quarter(1916D), then dug the indian(1894) a while later and then dug my first seated liberty dime(1877) i also found some other junk and one clad penny which must have been lost by the crew working on the streets, it was getting dark and one of Jazdos daughter had to go so he had to go if you know what i mean!! I messed around til well past dark and detected by street light til i was wore out. I was digging targets and throwing them in my pouch, i had dug 4 button sized targets and when i cleaned them this morning i realized one was an 1853 3 center, my first ever!!! I also had found a cut in half seated dime dated 1876. Heres a picture of the finds!!! I'm not sure what the wire clamp looking thing is but i'm sure its old,lol

Coming from under the old street they had alot of black coating on them, the barber is in great shape but it does have a small flat spot in the rim and the seated is in great shape as well, the 3 center took alot of cleaning to be able to read the date, it almost looked like it was covered with tar, thats why i didnt know what i had til this morning!! The clipped seated is in great shape, not really sure why they cut them in half but Jazdo found an 1866 indian cut in half as well!! It was nice that we both found the halves with the dates on them!!

Nice selection of coins there. That doesn't look like the typical seated "half" dime. I want one of those 3 centers this year. Good luck if you keep working those areas.
