Not big for you but for me!!!!! 1876 seated liberty dime

[Stuperduke]

After four plus years in the hobby, I finally found my first 1800s coin. Thank you all very much for the advice and mentorship. I know this isn't a big deal for most of you but for me this is an incredibly happy day.

Congrats. That would be a great find for any detectorist.

Finding seated coins is BIG for me. Congratulations on a tough coin!

Heck yea, a big deal. I bet you will hold on to that memory......and that killer dime.

 

[Stuperduke]

Thank you all for the comments. Yes, this was a great day. It was also found on my family gold rush property so there are hopefully many more things to find aside from square nails. Persistence pays off.

Nice find! i haven't found anything that old yet!

 

[Little buddy]

Great find! I would be thrilled too!

One of the best feelings is finding a seated!! Good detail too, congrats

 

[Steepdgaf]

That's awesome. I've found some 1800 coins but not a seated, still looking. Congrats...

Mikes right,that’s a great find no matter WHO you are or where you’re from or how long you’ve been at it. Most people’s first 1800s coin winds up being an Indian...so you made the grade in style there Duke! You certainly have a machine with the technology to sort a lot of that garbage from the good. And where there’s one,at least in my experience,it’s not alone.

I've been in the game 12 years and have never found a Seated Liberty coin of any variety - your dime would have been a massive find to me !

 

[Stuperduke]

Thank you all so much. So many nails and trash from the period but never a coin from it. I have four more days on the property so you can imagine I will be looking for more! I damn there let a tear loose I was so happy, i figured these may have been a but more prominent than I assumed.

Not many searchers who find seateds find a Carson City. Congratulations!

 

[Butler]

Congrats!! You know what a find like that means to me... It means I'm gridding that area very very well!

 

[Stuperduke]

I plan of gridding it out tomorrow.

 

[Iffy Signals]

Congrats! Awesome Find!!

No, that's a big deal! A nice coin, a memorable coin, silver, my son was born 100 years after that coin was minted and I bet you were excited when you realized what you have! It's a big deal and thank you for sharing it with the rest of it.........63bkpkr

 

[Stuperduke]

Just wanted to thank everyone yet again. I cannot stop looking at it.

I think that is a big deal man. I got extremely lucky finding one seated the first couple months with my deus and have been chasing that dragon for almost 2 years now. Congrats on a killer find and hope you find another real soon. Good luck!

I'd probably be dancing around my plug if one of those popped out.
