Seated from the Fairgrounds....50th silver from this spot.

[Corinth1812]

I reached a small milestone today, pulling my 50th silver coin from an old fairgrounds. To top it off the coin was only my second seated from there. I had been trying to find one for the last few days but couldnt even get a descent signal, after about an hour i got a deep "thump" very broken , but repeatable. I hit with the Quick Mask and recieved the exact same sound. Heart rate went up a bit. Dug a 6 inch plug out and placed the probe in the hole and dead on 12-45/46 a nice silver sound, and three inches lower i saw the edge of the dime peaking through the dirt. When i first pulled it out i thought it was a mercury dime, but then flipped it over and saw the wheat and corn on the back and knew i had either a barber or a seated, but i wasnt about to rub it. Looked at it for a while and was able to make out the 91 in 1891 and knew i had a seated. 9 inches down kind of slanted a bit, wow that was fun, i love finding silver in iffy signals.. Makes silver number 132 for the year.

maybe we could arrange a "runaway" bulldozer to go out of control and take the top off.

I can find a bulldozer if you can find someone with the marbles to drive it.....

just wait till I'm back in the area. We'll need to search quickly after the "runaway" bulldozer so we'll need lots of help :help

Weve been pulling enough iron out of that area that you might be able to get some goodies with that wot coil now...

As I recall that WOT coil pulled 2 barbers a merc and a couple of roosies from there in April when I was there
