Taking advantage of a sunny, 55 degree day, I headed out to a local cornfield that was a homesite as least as far back as 1873. I hunted for a couple hours and hadn't found much except for numerous copper pieces that all rang good. 
As I was working by way back to my car, I got a good signal that pinpointed nice and small. Digging down I popped out a tiny, thin coin. I was hoping this was my first seated coin but there was too much attached dirt to tell. I stuck it in my pocket and kept detecting for a while. Eventually my curiosity got the best of me, and I headed for the car and some water to rinse it with. A quick rinse showed the head of a woman....not what I was expecting! I grabbed my glasses for a closer look and was happy to see I had found an 1887 Canadian nickel. So, not the coin I had thought but at least I was in the right era for seated coins. The weather was beautiful out and finding a new first made my day. 
Thanks for looking and HH,
