New section of old site: Silver 3-cent dime (trime) & whole silver pocket watch.

[Scrappy]

Yesterday and today's after work hunts really came together, including today's bucket list three-cent silver. I did about 45 minutes each day due to the sunlight disappearing at 4:30.



The Deus really performed well in the heavy iron. My CTX just went nuts anytime I went near this area. What made me wander over again was a well I discovered after the brush died down.




The lamination error on this trime planchet is unbelievable. I can't play with this one much.


I love both machines, each one complementing the other. Together they're unstoppable.

Good digs

Gorgeous finds, Scrappy--congrats especially on your trime! -Lisa & John

Those things are so small...cant be an easy target to hit! Congrats on the great finds!

Thanks. And yep, it was a small target. It make me appreciate the small silver those guys across the pond are finding regularly.

WTG on the Trime! Still looking for my 1st.

Judging from the average age of your finds it might take a while! All your sites are too old! Lol. Thx for looking.

Nice digs! Gotta love the Trimes! A silly coin designed to buy stamps...lol

I've got a CTX, and my buddy has a Deus. Your right about them complimenting each other. I've pulled coppers super deep he totally misses, but he pulls coins out in areas I've scoured! I think Santa will be bringing me a Deus this year... lol

Thanks for posting! GL and HH!

Haha! Yes, Santa would be a wise man to send you a Deus. The way I usually do things is start with the Ctx and clean up with the Deus.

But WARNING: your buddy won't like seeing you with Deus!

Scrappy, those are tough coins to come by, how do I know...up here...well I got one, and since I paid a little attention to them since then I know.
I know this that a good many diggers will never get one. There was this fellow we'll call him Gary, he got one after 38 years, and he was a very active digger with many good finds.

Congrats on crossing that one off the list.

For the record this is the first I recall of seeing this year. That said keep in mind that I'm not on here every day...almost though. Ther may well have been one or two more ? ...anyone ?
