Oldest find yet,1839 Seated Dime, Merc, Wheats and Capt. M. Decoder Badge

crazyjarhead · Mar 31, 2009

Good evening everyone. Went back to the early 1900's farm site and pounded it again. To my surprise, I found my first seated dime and the oldest to date. It is worn a bit but have no idea how long it has been laying in this yard as the farm dated from the early 1900's :icon_scratch:

My half dime was 1842. Found some more old wheats (5) the oldest being 1913 and some 40's/50's. Found a nice 37 merc in good shape. Also found another cool local token. This is my 3rd token from this place. Also found a few cool relics. One has Captain Midnight's Secret Squadron on it. Looks like some kind of badge. Anyone know what it is?? Also found a heart shaped badge but the pin is missing. No idea on it either. Found a fishing sinker and some. That thing must weight 1/8 of a pound

. Then found some knob

? Thanks for looking. Ron

Nice dime,

Congrats on the oldest. They are hard to find. I'd say it circulated for 40 or 50 yrs.
