Ive been pretty discouraged lately with no interesting finds in a few weeks. I went to the park after a long sleepy Sunday afternoon and didn't expect much. I went around the park and found nothing. The DFX was telling me "low Battery" so I decided to head back to the car and swing through a grassy field where the older people usually use for golf. I hit a good sign , 78 to 80 vdi at around 6 inches. I pull out the plug and poked around with my pinpointer . It didn't take me long before finding this Beauty, a 1878 dime. I thought I would call it quits for the day and will definitely be back to do a thorough search. It really brightened my day which would otherwise be a very gloomy rainy Sunday.I did a little research and it looks like this place was a farm in the 1800s.

That old silver is always nice to find and field looks promising.
 
Great find!.....Just keep digging. There's a lot of good stuff here in the northeast. Research does payoff.

That's busting into the 1800's with a vengeance. Beautiful dime, looks to have good detail, too.

I'm a recent convert to Mixed Mode. You might get another 2-3" with it in that great park.
 
great dime WTG!
