Hello everyone on Sunday I had to go to new Paltz New York to switch cars with my daughter I asked Bart fellow treasure net Hunter if you wanted to take a ride and hunt new paltz
He agreed and we left we had a great day hunting and it's very old town however always found a recent coins bart did manage to scrounge up two silver Rosies and one Indian had cent I found nothing but clad but it was a great dayThe sun was shining I enjoyed it and hope Bart did too
Today I went back to my side where I found the horse soldiers I found eight coins six wheat pennies dating from 1939-1959 2 lincoln cents and what I thought was a pull tab or maybe a penny. I dug a plug its out of the hole but I can't find it so I sift the dirt again I see silver but tiny. Foreign coin ? A kids token nope it's a trime 1852 my oldest coin to date. I was excited I texted Bart right away with a photo he gets back to me right away with what it is but I already googled it. Hh gl thanks for reading

Excellent! Finding a trime is on most coinshooters bucket list, but most of us will never get one. Great job!

Great find. That's one that's evaded me. Also love the title of your post. Thank you for not using trime in a pun like, "it's about trime". Lol

That's a beaut...

Congrats

Learned something from this post. I found one of these 3cent pieces in Jan. Mine was also an 1852. Found it with some CW relics wich made it even better for me. I usually only target CW relics so I only have a few coins. Haven't heard it called trime maybe someone can elaborate. Congrats on a great find!

Congrats on that great recovery! I witnessed my digging buddy find one last year, I'm dying to find one too!

Congrats on your first trime and oldest coin!!! I have only found one of those little things and thought I was digging a zinc penny.

Trime is a sort of contraction of three and dime - maybe tri (as in three cents) and dime.

Thanks Bud, that's what I like about t-net, always someone willing to educate the ignorant.

welcome to the 1852 club. got mine last year, I have it listed on Ebay, user name ulster-relic, if you want a comparison on condition. when I first saw mine I thought it was an Israeli coin, Star of David, until I flipped it over.
