My oldest US silver

[McCDig]

Had a welcome surprise of another Tnet member stopping by to detect in Baltimore County.

Many acres we shared with meanderings looking for relics.

Gary came away with a hemweight, flat button, brass D buckle, musketball, drawer pull, and a '54 rosie as keepers.

I had a surprise find: my first silver from this site and it turned out to be seated, an 1838 dime!

Did manage to dig some pistol balls, but not a button today; they eluded me.

Certainly great to share the afternoon with a fellow Tnetter!


Here's the dig of the 1838 dime:

Congratulations to you and WHADIFIND on a good days hunt. Nice digs!

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Mark! That dude is a very good detectorist!

I did have the oldest and best looking dime found today until this post. Yours is clearly the winner. Congrats

 

[McCDig]

Thx toasted! Checked out your post and that is a "mint" 1875. Congrats!

 

[Loco-Digger]

Congrats, on your oldest silver. It looks like you both scored some great finds and made memories.

A Seated Dime in that kind of condition is quiet an amazing thing!

 

[Argentium]

Wonderful find ! The condition is amazing (solid XF at least ) probably dropped as an AU coin . Should be a $200. coin easily ! Just editing this post to say that after another look , it's clear that this coin is a lot better than XF !

Great video and post. The coin is fantastic. Congratulations

 

[Scrappy]

That's a pretty one. I also found 1838 dime but it looks like it circulated for many years.
