so since my last post, some weird stuff has happened but some great stuff too. first. I got a signal for dime. I dug the plug and then searched the hole with my pinpointer. still in the hole, so i dug more out. 1965 dime. Nothing big. It was 4 inches down, but what weird, when I ran the detector over plug, there was something there. 2 inches in the plug a 1964 dime. Odd that the older silver dime was two inches above the clad dime.
i
a few days later, and this is where it gets a little weirder.

get a dime signal again. 1853 with arrows. My luck sucks, it couldnt be the non arrows 1853 variety. Anyway, this is nice, this is my third seated dime ever. I have never found a seated dime ever, and three this year now. Run the detector over the area. Dime signal. Check the hole and out pops another seated dime. 1876 this time. Now I got four seated dimes this year/lifetime. Run the detector over the area and now I am getting a quarter. Seated Quarter, right? Dig a little more and its a 1976 Bicentennial quarter. A 1976 Quarter in the same hole as two seated dimes!

Over 15 years of detecting in California and I have zero seated dimes so you're doing well compared to me with those lol. Good finds
 

Seateds are fine no matter the order...but it does make one wonder just how things get turned around in the ground.
