Hit the place thats been good to us this year with Vanoldschool yesterday. We didnt find as much as we usually do but man what a find a made. I was in a spot thats pretty trashy and got a signal on my minelab that kind of sounded like it was going to be a wheatie. It was reading about 8-9" deep but solid so I started digging. After I got the plug out I stuck my pinpointer in the hole and it was still in there so I dug a little more and didn't see the target come out but it did. As I pushed the dirt around I saw a little grey colored coin. I thought it was just a clad dime and picked it up and saw the back. I was excited when I saw the One Dime and thought cool a barber. Then I flipped it over and saw it was a seated! I started yelling and threw my hands in the air. Ten years of doing this and never in a million years did I think I would ever find one. It's pretty worn but I'm not complaining. I also managed a couple of silver rings so it was a great day!

:icon_thumleft: SUPER Find!!! Congrats. Still looking for my first after 40 years. Diggin Dan
 
Congrats way to go :thumbsup:It took me 15yrs. to find my one and only Seated Dime . I found a half Real a few weeks before that and even a Morgan Silver dollar a few years prior to that but those darn Seateds avoid me like the plague .Keep up the good work.
 
That one coin represents so much work over the years, congratulations to you! I have not found one after 13 years so I'd love to get one someday.
 
Congrats on the seated,

Hope there are more to come.

Wonderful find! Gives hope to the rest of us that there is a chance, even in WA state!
