Four buttons and a Seated dime

[rhedden]

Yesterday was mostly dedicated to a fruitless trip to some antiques malls in New England. I completely blanked at the antiques places, but I packed the detector so I could hit a spot or two on the way home. It was already 6 PM when I stopped by the location where I found the British War of 1812 button back in June. I unearthed four additional buttons this time, the last one being a surprise Tombac. The sun was already setting, so I decided to swing along the edge of the field on the way back to the car.

How many times have I heard detecting stories about finding something cool on the way back to the car? Many times! As I passed a large rock in a stone wall that looked like a good place to sit down, I got sat down indeed, with an 1888 Seated dime about 3 inches deep! Swinging on the way back to my car has netted a Connecticut copper, an 1801 large cent, and this Seated dime in the past two years, so I won't be packing up before the walk any more!

I really like the way that date looks! Great hit and memory made! You’ve got your antiques now!!

anything with a readable date is a score.

Congrats on the Seated Dime !

Yes, I've had that happen to me several times - hunts over - then dig the best find of the day on the way back to the car.
Never turn your Detector off till you get back to your vehicle.
And always try to keep your Detecting gear with you at all times - you just never know what you'll see driving around.
