Got off work yesterday morning after working 12 hours and the kid says " wanna get in a quick hunt ". Couldn't get out the door fast enough. Lol
We went to our latest permission where I found the Washington and the Rosie. The yards a mess half grown up and tree limbs laying everywhere. About all we found were a couple wheats each when a got a 84-88 hit about 6" with the AT Pro.
Told the kid this was probably something good, thought for sure I had a silver quarter. Flipped a plug and checked the hole with the pin pointer. No problem picking up the target except it was straight below some small roots. Took me a couple minutes but, I finally saw silver in the hole.
My first ever seated anything, a 1889 seated dime. SWEET!! And it's in great shape too.

MAN!
That Seated Liberty Dime Has "The Look" That I look for when buying Coins.
To dig one in that condition is a thrill.
As my only Seated Dime was close to that condition.
Wanting my 2ed.
