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.

Great Find. Breaking into the 1800's with a silver find is even better! ;D ;D Gotta be some IH's in that area. Hope you remember where you dug that dime. 8)

GREAT FIND!!!!! Where the heck did you get that dirt? Around here you would have to buy dirt like that, it is mostly rock.
 
Wow, that meadow looks so large in your pic. There's gotta be more hiding there. If I found a seated there, I couldn't wait to get back out there.

You broke into the 1800's with style!!! :thumbsup:

Congrats,
