Folks, Managed a seated half dime....

[bill from lachine]

Folks,

Went to a sports field this morning I've detected many times....as the soil is quite dry I cranked up the sensitivity to the max trying to find some deeper targets.

Managed a couple of cents from the silver era then lo and behold at 5 or 6" up pops an 1853 seated half dime....I didn't rub it or even run it under water yet....

Regards + HH

Excellent find this side of the border! I've only ever found one Seated coin up here, it's a dime as smooth as a slug. Yours is in great shape.

Congrats on the great find- makes you wonder how that guy got up there!

Jeff,

Since I'm quite close to the border about 60 miles or so lots of US coins show up from all eras.

A2coins,

For what it's worth going slow, gridding, doing overlaps and maxing out the sensitivity seems to work for me...just a few things to consider going forward.

Aaahh,it's comforting to hear someone else's one and only seated is a mirror image of my one and only.

Great detail buddy. A quick lemon juice soak and that baby will look incredible. Nice job

 

[bill from lachine]

Abe,

I haven't decided yet whether to clean it or not....I kind of like the way it currently looks in natural light it doesn't have that much brownish toning btw.

Here's a couple of better pictures....I may just let in soak overnight in water to get off the left over dirt from the hole.

Yeah leave it alone bud. Don't shine that baby up at all. I like the dark man. It looked much darker in the post pics

 

[Johncoho]

That is one fine looking seated. It still has a lot of detail. Congrats.

[Boonieguy]

That's exactly like the only one I have ever found to. Congratulations!

Diggin Dude,

They're out there but given how small they are you have to go slow to pick them up especially if they are fairly deep.
