Seated Park delivers again! Dime trifecta and better date Indians

[JeffInMass]

As this is the last weekend before we Cape Codders get the annual tourist invasion, I thought I'd take a trip to my favorite park in my old hometown. I left before sunrise to beat the heat and humidity and conditions were perfect- ground was nice & wet from the overnight rain the day before, and the Nox was sniffing out coins I would never have imagined I missed on my previous 300+ trips.
Hunted an idea that tends to accumulate water and most of the finds reflect that. Best signal was a constant high tone, about 7-8 inches down. Once I got to the point where the probe sounded off, I pulled up a handful of dirt with a high-ringing coin, but when I stuck the probe in again, another signal. Separated the two and each turned out to be a silver dime- one was a 1908-O Barber and the other a 17 Merc. A little later I got another high tone, this one turned out to be an 1877-S Seated dime, directly up and down. That one marked the 30th Seated dime from this park and 35th Seated coin.
I also managed 3 Indians, 2 better-date 1867 & 1876, in rough shape, and an 1882, and 1912 & 1917 wheats. The place never ceases to amaze.

Enjoy the pics & HH!

Nice coins, especially that Seated dime. Wish I could find an old dig-friendly park around here. Good luck with tourist season. Memorial Day weekend seems to me to be the unofficial start of the rush., or at least a preview of what is to come. Good luck and HH!.

Love old coins...the soil was not kind to a couple of them but still great recoveries!

I think it's amazing how nice the '77 Seated looks compared to how the Barber and the Merc came out of the ground.
Just goes to prove, that no site is ever really hunted out, especially with today's improved detector technology.
