I Love My Fisher-F70

[limegoldconvertible68]

I was sure this Fairground from the mid-1800's was hunted out but thankfully a fellow MD'er told me good finds are still there so I persevered. I can't believe I dug this 1877 Seated Liberty dime out of an 8" hole. It sounded out loud and ID'ed accurate. The dime may be worn and it is an ugly color but its my first Seated in my career. This is my first attempt at posting pictures, I hope this works!

Wow those are some big pictures. Sorry about that. I need to learn how to make them smaller but who wants to waste time learning things about computers when there is ground to metal detect.

You can re-size them for free with lunapic online photo editor. I had the same problem

limegold, I knew you and the '70 would see eye to eye some day. Keep it up.

Awesome Find!
From one F-70 user to another great job! Is there a mint-mark on the dime, could not see the reverse too well.
Congrats!

Neat finds, but those pics are really blurrier and also way too large.

Scroll down for image resizer, simple right click interface.
Might work for the newer windows too, don't know.
And oh, for the blurry pics, use macro mode.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the help with downsizing the photos.

Gleaner, I was starting to get worried about my abilities with the F-70. I know of others who have been hunting there and they have made some finds but this is the oldest I know of. It really is a big boost to in my confidence. Its funny how one coin can change your entire outlook.

P2C, There is no mint mark visible. Its pretty worn so there isn't any way to tell for sure.

Any Seated Liberty Dime is a good score
