Howdy Folks. Returned to the nasty clover field with various other vegetation getting in the way. I had my little Nel Snake coil on to make any attempts to swing a tad bit easier. Located the trashiest spot of the field and began to thrust and jab my coil into any spot I could muster a little wiggle of a swing. Got some scrap brass, an old brass "grommet", HUGE lead object, mangled fork, Schrader Universal Valve thingy, a brass do dad, and a real SHOCKER for me and very nice 1876 Philadelphia Seated Dime. I was quite pleased as I might only have 4 Seated Dimes now. I knew this field would hold old coins but, swinging it is a challenge to say the least. Looks like it's worth the hassle though. Thanks for stopping by. Kurios1

Nice one! Seated silver is tough to find (at least for me)

It must have something to do with "distribution" of certain coins back then. Buckle Boy down in LA digs three Seated Half Dimes in ONE hunt! I've yet to find ONE in nine years?!? I hear the east coast is tough on Seated Silver. At least you have Colonials going your way and Spanish silver!:icon_thumright:
 

Yup.......karma......like you said kevin !! Nice coin !! Sweet. Congrats.

Trying to remain "humble & lovable". Ya' know, like Underdog? Headed out to see where my heart leads me this afternoon.:hello:

Great Job Kurios! Your on it brother!

I believe you are correct. Getting ready to post this afternoon & evenings "old" finds.:icon_thumright:
 

Seen your recent finds post and saw you said you found a seated so I had to check it out. Seems like a very cool site you've got there. Grats on the awesome coin!
