Finally! My first seated coin! 1889 dime

kimsdad · Mar 30, 2011

I don't normally post a lot of my finds on TF, I'm throwing this up here because the day I thought would never come, came today!!! :thumbsup:

After three years of some hard detecting, I have dug a real, a half real, large cents, shield nickels, V-nickels, and even that crazy fine capped bust last week. I still hadn't dug a seated coin of any kind. :icon_scratch:

it was getting to the point that I thought my detector repelled them, until today.

I hit a well picked-over old spot today. Nothing was happening there for me except the trombone mouthpiece, so I moved on to a different area altogether and swung over a deep target. Out popped that skeleton key, a cool find in my book. :thumbsup:

Well, I kept swinging in the same area and got another deepie under a branch, so I moved the branch and dug - and there she was!

Finally!

So it was a good day after all! :thumbsup:

The only thing I regret is that I was off on my own when I dug her, and had no one there to share the excitement with. I had to do a lot of texting!

Thanks for checking out my latecomer seated and HH to you all! :wink:

Fantastic! A seated is on many peoples bucket list of finds....including mine. The last V Nickel I dug, I was praying for it to be a seated, but it was not to be. I share in your happiness and enthusiasm. Congratulations. Savor every moment. :hello2:

Congrats,

They are hard to come by though. I have hunted a ton over the past 10 yrs and only have found about 10 seated coins or so. That bugle peice is a really good find also. I have a few of them.Tumble it out it will look great.

I remember my first. I was jumping up and down with excitement! My hunting partner thought I was stung by a bee!
