My first 1900 dime and other really sweet finds!

[catchdogcross]

I decided to go to the burnt out cellar hole and give it another try, since last time I went with my Tigershark there was too much junk. This time I went with my Deleon, first thing I hit was a 7 inch target at 95! It was a dime dated 1900, oldest coin I own... Sorry I couldnt get a good enough pic of the dime, but I got a sweet shot of an old either lead or cast iron horse, no legs or tail still was awesome pulling it out of the sand! I also found this jet, looks newer but I doubt it's younger than 1960, found it under a HUGE holly bush... The site I hit was a little victorian house that had burned down about 3 years ago and they filled in the cellar with backfill from the site. Love my Deleon!!!

Glad to hear you found your oldest dime. Barber coinage has a beautiful design

Thanks guys! Hey the last time I was there I was so discouraged I never wanted to go back. Since I bought this Deleon I've been finding unbelievable coinage!!!! decided to hit it one more time with the Deleon, because of what Tabdog told me back in the winter:
"With that volume of trash left there, you can bet it hasn't been hunted. Clean it out and reap the rewards.- Tabdog "

Thanks Tabdog!!!

and everybody!

This is a great hobby isnt it?
