Buddy can you spare a CC dime

[McCDig]

Started today's hunt collecting some clad and that got old with the can shred that abounded, so I left and headed to the farm. Passing through the corn field I recovered a deer slug and a brass "D" buckle that rang in at 76; thought I had a coin there.

Left the corn field and back on the grass I got a signal that was 60s, maybe 70 but only in one direction, nothing much in the other direction. Dug the hole and saw what appeared to be a coin or button at the side of the hole. Somehow I missed it with the predator tool. Turned out to be an 1877 CC dime, my second seated dime from this site.

A little while later, still searching the same general area, another signal sounded tempting. It was beneath roots and rocks. I actually flipped it out with my digging. Turns out to be yet another CC dime, this time 1876, worn like the 1877, so they were likely lost at the same time.

A crazy day. There was one other daily-double at this site, the day I recovered an 1821 LC and an 1818 within about 15 feet of one another.
Glad I decided to hunt this site. If it has ever been detected before, they left me some keepers.

How bout posting some pics for us poh folk? Who can't afford all that linky, hi techin' new fangled stuff? ( )

Excellent finds! Glad you found stuff! Just as well, I needed ALL my luck today to escape the shop with some money to eat on this month!

Did you notice that first dime *JUMPED* right, dead center, back into the hole? LOL

 

[McCDig]

Thx TRanegar36! To perhaps overuse the word, it was a "banner" day for me; I can't imagine doing this again.

 

[McCDig]

You're right, Whadi; it wanted to go back. I added the pics as you suggested.

Great hunt - you are soooo lucky to score not one, but two CC Seated Dimes!

 

[Scrappy]

That's excellent man. All of my CC seated silver have been 1870's as well. I'm north of you, but it certainly seems as though a decent amount of CC silver was sent east in that decade.

Great finds bud, keep them coming

 

[treblehunter]

Wow, very nice, I'd be very stoked on those finds, congrats!

 

[JackalopeZL1]

Nice Save !!!

 

[McCDig]

Thx Nick! Your're right, it's not what you'd expect on a farm with over a hundred acres. It's like find the "needle in the haystack", only twice.

 

[McCDig]

Thx Scrappy! I've noticed that too. Outside of the 1870s, there were no other seated dimes with the "CC" mint mark.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Treblehunter! i think Whadi's mojo was still on the field.

 

[McCDig]

Thx JackalopeZL1! The first was amazing, but the 2nd was ridiculous. It's like "this shouldn't be happening", but it did.

 

[trapperart]

That's just amazing congrats on the 2 seated cc dimes. Isn't it unusual that the harder you work the luckier you are. Great job

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Art! I'll keep at it.

 

[sprailroad]

A Carson City mintmark! Something I have never found, and you have proved that YES, they DO exist, Twice.

And lightning strikes twice! Wow McD...congrats on an awesome day, im still poking around for my first Seated ANYTHING. but I do realize I have to get out of the parks and schools and onto some old dirt to get mine...BUT...I did score (actually my wife did-I love her) a permission on an early to mid 1800's house downtown in our Heritage District...and has not seen a coil (at least in the 22 years they've owned it). Way to go McD...couldnt have happened to a greater guy! Ddf

Killer dime hunt!

Congrats on the two CC. Guess you didn't want to leave that area.
