Finally got Seated!!!!! Epic day for me 🙏🏻

Woke up at 5am and took that ride to New Orleans. Went to the park and chose a different spot which produced all bottle tops. So I was changing locations, feeling already disgusted I was gonna just turn my detector off and go to the truck, but I didn’t and I glad I didn’t. My truck was parked by a tree that I had once found a deep wheatie so I started swinging. I turned on a coin setting I have saved and dropped my disc down to 1 and the coins started coming. Started getting deep wheatie’s from the 1920’s, a Buffalo, then a V nickel....oh boy they’re getting older and better and then it happened. A choppy signal with a high pitched 30-32 showing up every know and then, but it was showing 8”+, so no brainer in my book. 9” down I saw this beautiful silver on edge, so I picked it out the grown “ONE Dime” up...Barber or Seated, Barber or Seated...SEATED!!!! 4 1/2 years I’d been waiting for this moment. 1891 O Seated Dime unbelievable feeling! I had to go because of work, but lord only knows I’ll be back. IMG_2835.webpIMG_2845.webpIMG_2846.webpIMG_2847.webpIMG_2848.webpIMG_2842.webp

Great job hitting those older coins! The seated dime is a beauty. I bet those coins were swung over my many detectorists over the year...but you took them home!
 

A huge congrats on pulling your first seated Truth. Gotta love checking that one off the list.
 

Nice old coin shooting and congratulations on the seated dime! :occasion14:

Couldn't be happier for you!
