My First SEATED 1877-cc Dime (4/9/10)

[p2c]

Got out this morning,
First couple of hours of hunt very frustrating, only a 1920's something buffalo. It was time to leave, but I stayed a little longer. Wandered to an area where I found my 1865 and 85 IH's, almost no signals. Then hit a 1911 Wheat penny, which I thought and hoped would be an IH. Just about to leave when I got a signal that sounded more penny than dime but was solid and about 7 inches deep. Dug it, and after scrounging in the hole saw a dime laying flat ... I knew it was going to be good. Took a few moments to figure out what I had. Then I walked around in shock for about 10 minutes. It was hard to see the date, but easy to see it was a cc. Condition is pretty good, probably between F-12 and VG-8, but partially blackened and hence hard to see the date. As the shock subsided, I made a few phone calls. My first seated, and it is a good one!!! I am one happy camper.

I am leaving it as is. Only ran it under water. Only problem is discoloration obscures some of the detail to they eye. Liberty is fully there, but you can't easily see it with the dark.

Awesome, that had to have been a thrill. I still haven't found one yet. Any hints at all on location...were you working fields or woods, yards or parks? Over here across the fields in Frankfort my son and I are getting a little bored searching the parks...looking for something new to search, but not having any luck getting permission for the spots we think are great candidates...not getting any response at all in fact! We'll keep trying.
