Got out last night for the first time in a few weeks. Been hunting this place since 2003 and still finding nice coins although it took a little bit to find anything good last night. Ended up with a 1933 Wheat Cent, some cufflinks and then a 1891-O dime and 1888 Indian Head in the same hole. The Seated Dime is my first ever in over 38 years hunting, so I was pretty stoked. I think I kind of willed it to happen too because about 10 minutes before I found it, I said out loud to myself, please let me find a seated dime or quarter tonight. Funny, does anyone else talk to themselves when hunting?

The pictures do not do the coin justice. Details are crystal clear.

Beautiful coin congrats
 

Congrats on your 1st nice seated liberty, there is more to come.
 

Well done. Still looking for anything older than a Merc. I can wait I guess. Umm yeah I talk to myself all the time while detecting. Im glad im not the only one.
 

.....FanDIMEtastic!
 

And its a BEAUTY! CONGRATULATIONS on your excellent find! May your luck keep rolling!
 

Of course, if you hunt by yourself, who else are you gonna talk to? Congrats for finding that first Seated- hope the next one comes a LOT sooner, and that 33 wheat, although not close to rare, is a date you don't find very often.
 

Beautiful silver!!!
 

I am seated and salute you.
 

Beautiful coin! :occasion14:
 

Congrats, I hope I don't have to wait another 26 years to find my first.
 

Gotta love gettin older than mercs and barbers...you just squeaked in but you got it. Nicely done and congrats!
 

When you can read "Liberty" on the ribbon going across the shield you know you have a good one. Great find. Gary
 

Congrats!! Yes I totally talk to myself while digging sometimes. Nothing beats the power of thinking positive!
 

Congrats on the Seated Dime!
So what's next?
Hope what ever it is it will arrive in the dirt before 38yrs.-just saying most wont't be reading your post up.
Talking to one self-always-but I don't care for any other voices around. (that would be scary)
 

A most excellent coin! Congrats on your first seated. That's a big deal in my book as they don't come around all that often. Bet you can't wait to find your first capped bust dime now.
 

Congrats,

That one is a real beauty. Yeah they are tough to come by.

Yeah from time to time I spit out a few words. Normally I am thinking it in my head though Like yeah there should be a Barber half etc here.

Then I find one lol.

Hobby is strange at times.
