Made it out yesterday for a afternoon hunt. I started off solo then took a break and went and got the kid. Things were slow for the first hour not finding any coins or any keepers for that matter, just junk.
Batteries died in the detector so decided I'd change batteries and hit a small section I hadn't hit then find another site.
Two minutes in the new section I get a good 82-84 hit. Dig a plug and have a 1875 seat dime.
I then found 6 wheats, a buffalo, and a flat button.
The kid hadn't had a good hunt for awhile so decided to make a 5 minute drive home and pick him up to finish the hunt.
When we got back told the kid I hadn't hit the section below where I found the seated. He headed that way and 10 minutes later needed help digging a deep target straight under a couple huge roots. I thought for sure he had silver but, after 20 minutes of digging turned out to be a LC. A little bit later in that same section he pulls out a bucket lister, 1851 trime. Only other keepers for the kid was a 1968 dog tag.
I found a couple more wheats, another buffalo, headless lead soldier and a tiny silver bell. The bell is only the size of your average marble but, marked Sterling.

Nice digs DS. I'm happy to see you're it and scoring some great finds bud
 

Congrats on the Trime, is it me or we see them a bit more this year?

Well, there's a bunch of us who've yet to see one!

Absolutely great finds, love the bell - and yes it is marked Sterling :)
 

That's a great hunt with some scarce coins for sure. Great job thinking of your son. I reckon his confidence has peaked after these sweet finds. I was fortunate enough to be working a street construction project and managed to recover a trime just laying on the surface with some dust covering it. Much harder to get one at any depth I am sure. Wonderful hunt. Thanks for the report. Peace.
 

You guys had quite the great day- Congrats on all the awesome finds!

Thanks!! Always thinking of the kid when I get on a good site with some Sweet finds and he's not there with me. I'm only glad he didn't find that trime in an area I already searched. Lol
Congrats on your trime!! Hopefully one day I can scratch it off my bucket list.
 

Holy cow! nice finds and glad the kid could come along and make that bucket lister! Congrats!
