I actually get to post under today's finds! Now I know why you do it! I'm so tickled I just want to shout it from the mountain tops!
First things first. Thank you 4x4x4! It was his thread under everything else titled " if I knew then what I know now." I shared my story and he encouraged me to hunt there.
Started off finding usual stuff, cans, pull tabs, nails and fence. Then I found an interesting farm relic that I need help identifying. Mosquitoes were tearing me up. And it's just like you all say," just one more swing!" I've been screaming ever since. My very first coin found metal detecting is an 1854(?) Dime! Woot ! Woot!

I also found an 1854 this year ( PA). exciting huh?
 

Haha! Excellent start. One of my first finds was a 1794 Liberty Cap. I wish you many more finds in the future and good luck
 

pretty wild! congrats, what an awesome find too!
 

Unreal.....First coin an awesome find!!
Time to do the happy dance....:blob9::blob9:!!!!
Hope you find many more.
 

WOW! If that is your first coin, I wonder what other great finds are in store for you? Congratulations on a beautiful first silver coin! I can relate to your enthusiasm as I found my first silver seated liberty this year. I felt a child-like joy!
 

Congrats on the coin. I've only found 3 coins so far, and all 3 ended up actually being arcade tokens.
 

Thanks for all the "pats on the back!" Sounds like I'll always remember the first coin. I had many members tell me not to give up. I was about to. I know the farmers out here were poor. But they left me something to go with my history of the farm.
H H!
 

First ever coin is a Seated?! That's crazy, and I think now you are hooked! I also see a little garter clip in your tub of finds. I always like finding those, I usually find older coins nearby.
 

HEY HEY!!! Congrats on the first coin!!! :occasion14:
 

That sure is a good first coin for sure, congrats on the seated dime and other finds. Good luck, sure it's the first of many. Art

The farm was established in 1832. I knew if I found a coin, there was a good chance it would be old. A garter clip, huh? Makes one wonder how it ended up at an old barn site! :evil6:
 

Thats one heck of a coin to start the hobby off with ! Congrats on your first coin.
 

nice seated!
 

Killer find... congrats. Awesome old silver coin.

If you think those mosquitos bite you, just wait until this silver bug bite festers! It is a tough itch to scratch.

Best of luck to you sir!
 

Huge congrats on getting the old silver! That's one great way of starting off and getting something any hunter would smile at digging. I'm certain that this won't be your last old silver being dug, so enjoy the journey along the way and the little digging treasures the will come your way.
