It was a DS night at the CIA-Double Seated, that is! Update

[SMS88]

Went back to the leaf filled path where I found the barber quarter, dime, and indian last two nights http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,118844.0.html. I wanted to get more depth from the moist soil, and tonight it was so moist, there was actually flowing water about 4 inches in the ground. Found two seated dimes, a 86 and 91 about 4-6" deep, one of them was actually deeper than the water. The water doesn't do much for accuracy, though. Athough I got broken, inconsistent tones from both of the dimes, the signagraph showed 3 bars, one at -90, one near +90, and another at 0, as if the DFX is trying to read the ground and coin at the same time and averaging them. Last time I was out, I realized that the deeper coins don't ring up as where you think they should ring up and that ground balance isn't perfect and that theory continued tonight. Strange. What's even stranger is that I have now found as many silver dimes as indians. These people must've had more money to be so careless with their silver. Their loss is my gain! Found a few more coins on sunday as well. Continue down.

those were the 4th and 5th seated dimes from the area and 17th and 18th old silver dimes from the area. There maybe more, but i'll need to wait for the ground to drain out to go for the deep stuff.

And you can say that again! Here's more stuff from tonight. I really think this place is nearly hunted out now, got an 1890 V nickel, 1889 and 1892 indians, and a better date 1892 O barber in near XF. Seated dimes might be nice, but the date and details make the barber one of the nicer finds from the site. Also got a rusted swiss army knife and a figurine. It looks silver, but I doubt that it is and has the name CORBEC on the base. It was shallow, so I don't think it's old

 

[SMS88]

Anybody have ideas about the figurine? It would be helpful

Way to Go 88

Don't be surprised if there are not a couple caches of old coins in the ground around there.

Hunted again there for two hours tonight after coming back from thanksgiving break. No coins, but I did get a few pieces of thin bronze wire. There still maybe more out there
