First hunt of 2008

[daytondigger]

After many days of cold and quagmire here in Dayton, I was happy to head to Rockcastle county Kentucky where the temps were in the 50's and 60's and the ground was perfect. I scanned an area that was used by the L&N railway workers a 100 years ago or more to rest and retreat from the summer heat. I came back with an 1891 seated dime, a 1918 merc and some wheats and clads. Great weather and great scenery, a good time for sure.

Very nice finds!
With those dates on your silver, the best might be yet to come. . . good luck!

Welcome back to burrrrrr cold! (xenia here)
Sounds like you had a great time. Would it break your heart to hear we were at 60 and didn't get rain until late last night ?

Too cold here for me, too. 25 miles north of Dayton. Good Digs.

Nice job. I haven't found that many seated dimes. Is is a very good hunt when one of those babies comes up.

Any way you can make that picture a little bigger?

Thanks for the feedback everyone, the seated dime was under a rock shelter for 100 years or more I suppose and has a black coating that wants to stay
