First Seated Dime 1876-S

[Mirage]

Nate and I hooked up with Don11971, Danimal and Scott. Don was our host as we went down toward Wooster, Ohio. Don’s friend Scott played a key role in setting us up with two sites. The first was in Ashland. It was a Demo site. Only two of about ten houses were still standing. In fact, the backhoe was busy loading up dumptrucks even as we were detecting. Trash was everywhere except in the front of the one house shown. We found some wheat pennies, clad and some other old junk but nothing too exciting. We then headed out to an old picnic/camp – “Pleasant Home”. This site was very active from the mid 1800’s until about 1900. Scott has found good stuff here - Indian Heads, a Two Cent Piece, a Seated Dime, etc. Scott also said a buddy he knows pulled “handfuls of coins” from this site – all pre 1900. It was a tough hunt as targets were far and few between. Dan and I both found a seated dime. Nate has found three this year but this is my first seated dime.

Thanks again Don and Scott for making this happen.

John, when my son finds a coin with me I almost feel as if I can count it. So, even though there are some other coins I have not found that Nate has I don't feel the monkey. The one that really is the monkey on our backs is that Large Cent. Neither Nate or I have found one yet. That will be the big quest for 2007.

I'd keep hunting that site, looks like a good one. Maybe you could hunt there after they scrap some of the
soil away.

Denny, This place is a good drive for us so I doubt we will make it back there. Scott and Don are close so I'm sure they will keep an eye on it.

Way to go!
That site is screeming seated.
That is one terrific looking site.
Thanks for sharing the pics. I too, like to see the sites almost as much as the coins and artifacts.

Congrats on that first seated, Bob!! WTG!

You say you didn't find much at the first site, and I think the first pic shows a clue as to why--one of you is hunting on the sidewalk. I think you would have found more if you stuck to the grassy areas.

Very Nice... I'm still waiting for mine. It's there somewhere.

That campground could produce well. You should make another trip out there and see what surfaces.
