So, I knew one day this would happen; I left my pinpointer somewhere in the middle of nowhere. I have a backup, not a big deal...

About an hour after losing my pinpointer, I found this seated liberty half dime in insanely good condition.

It rang off as a solid 80 on the XP Deus running in 12 kHz and was a good six inches down. I am psyched!

Great find! I might trade a pinpointer for that nice coin!
 

Sweet find, congrats! :occasion14:
 

Yeah, that's why I bought one of those stretch thingies for my pin pointer to attach it to my pouch. Excellent find!
 

She's a beauty! :icon_thumleft:

Just ordered one! Truth be it told, the pinpointer was fours years old and starting to flake out. It’s final resting place is a lovely hilltop in the middle of the woods, seems suiting.
 

That's a very nice coin. Too bad about the pinpointer though.
 

Yet another great Mass find- sorry about the loss of the pinpointer...
 

I have dropped either my PP or lesche 6-7 times over the years,I have always found them retracing my steps(one time the next day) except for a lesche I lost in a wooded area with a lot of leaf cover,At least you found a great coin out of the day.
 

I have lost mine many times and been lucky enough to find them,I also cant afford to lose one lol Great coin put that bad boy in a case and next hunt you can look for it as you detect shouldnt be to hard to find. I put my phone number on my detector and pinpointer call if found. I dont expect to lose my detector but if stolen or once I get really old who knows.
 

Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Beauty little coin Mike, you've had a good week with the tiny silvers. So, a few weeks ago when I dropped my Deus remote on the side of that mountain, if I hadn't found it I'd instead have brought home a what? Pine tree shilling? I guess the silver gods are looking for an equipment sacrifice in exchange for coinage!
 

Nice seated half dime! Congrats! :icon_thumleft:
 

I lost my first pinpointer while wandering and swinging a large patch of woods. Tried to retrace my steps but realized it was impossible. I have a tether on my carrot now. The Seated half dime makes the loss not sting. Congrats
 

Sorry to hear about your pinpointer Secondstar...that's a bummer. I've done the same thing with my Lesche a couple of times. No fun. The half dime is a beauty. Hopefully that took some of the sting out.
 

very nice. Although it wouldn't make sense monetarily I'd trade a pinpionter for a coin like that!!! I've lost my pinpointer a couple times. Maddening!
 

Old pin pointer for old coin, seems like a fair trade:icon_thumleft:
