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.

Wonderful find! I still vividly remember the feeling, place and time I found my one and only seated dime in AU condition. All the previous Rosie's, Mercuries and Barbers found were 6-9 inches deep. The seated dime for no apparent reason was only a couple of inches deep and almost didn't dig it as I thought 'clad dime'. I even remember the weather on that day over a decade ago :laughing7: The feeling of unearthing an old coin just never goes away.

For most of us, a seated dime is a GREAT find! Congratulations on breaking the 19th century mark. I'm sure there are more inn your future.

Very nice dime.
Your in an area where it is highly possible that you may swing your coil over a gold coin.
Remember that if you are using discrimination (I’d throw down some gold to test).

Also remember to give your signals a wide berth when digging them. Hate to ruin a nice coin.

You also just might find a large nugget.

I do really want to take a moment to thank you folks for keeping persistent. I'm beside myself still. I did a grid today, only could old wagon parts on a wagon trail but tomorrow I will for sure be hitting the foot path that follows the wagon trail. Any advice is welcome.
