3 Seated Dime Spill + Conn Copper!!

[bergie]

Yesterday I got a phone call from a very fired up Skunemonk (Jeff) who was at an early 1800 house his extended family had rented -- "Dude!" he says - "I just started detecting and got 3 seated dimes all together! Then right nearby I got a Connecticut Copper!" He found these in about 15 minutes and needless to say, we are going back as soon as possible. He's been having some computer problems, so I picked up the coins, brought them over to Earthworks and his new camera, and here's the result. The 1886 is spectacular. The Connect. Copper is 1787. Congrats to Jeff on these great finds.

Jeff youre friggin killin me! haha! that is outstanding! send some of that luck south to Delaware will you! nice job!

3 seated dimes in one hole!!!!! Obviously a beginner. An experienced hunter would know you aren't going to find 3 seated dimes together. With experience comes wisdom.

Dave W -- I gather you are joking about beginner's luck and not questioning the truthfulness of the find. It's hard to tell from your post, but it seems to question the find. Jeff who found it is as honest as they come, and has no need to try to impress people he doesn't even know.

Definitely joking!! Never even thought to question the veracity of the find. It just amazes me that no matter how little or how much experience you have, you never know when you will get that really nice find.
What a great way for a beginner to start the hobby. Bet he's hook for life after that one.

I was trying to figure how many % more Seated coins you've found than I have (same goes for Colonial Coppers, and we could add LC's too). 3 (or 1) divided by 0 is.. 'like infinite'.

Great coins / hunt!!

Nothing seated around my house except me.... Thats one great find!!

They're all great finds. The Connecticut copper is in impeccable shape for being in the ground that long. In Wisconsin soil it would be a corroded blob! Kudos

Very nice

Thanks to all for the reply's. And a special thanks to Phil and Earthworks for taking and posting the pics. In my three years of detecting this definitely had to be one of my best days. I hit a section of a yard of a 1800-1830 house about 30 by 100 foot long, and found the connecticut copper first. It was a real thrill it was my second one and i love them. Then about 20 feet away i got a broken signal and about 4 inches down i got one of the dimes. I was showing it to my nephew at the same time re-checking the hole and found another one in the loose dirt. I couldn't believe it. So i kept re-checking around the plug and about a foot away i got another one, and i was really freaking out. By this time i surrounded by about 20 kids, we were at a birthday party, so i stopped detecting. Definitely a spot im going to be at again this weekend.
