Sweet Seated Silver!!

[zaxfire69]

Hello everyone. True story!! I revisited a site today I called Button Hill. Stepped out of my car and walked to the top of button hill. I turned my detector on literally put the coil to the soil and made 2 swipes back and forth. ATpro let out a wonderful high tone at 6 inches. I dug the plug and flipped it back to have this beauty starring back at me..1841-O Seated Dime. My entire day was made on that first signal and first hole. Great Christmas Eve Eve. Zaxfire69

That is efficient use of time and energy, for sure. Did you make swipe #'s 3 and 4 and.......?
Find anything else, or did you call it a day with the one nice find?
Great find, and it will look nice, cleaned up.

IYou guys are right very efficient use of time and batteries. All in all I stayed about an hour and dug a lead poker chip, 3 flat buttons and square nails. Then to end the hunt I got to shoot a Barrett .50 cal. Good day for sure.

Looks like a small "O" closed bud New Orleans mint coin, pictures too fuzzy to see more details. There's a ton of varieties of that coin.

Nice find!!

The O is tiny. I have an open bud variety. Don't know if that open bud matters, but it is an open bud for sure. I can tell by the second leaf on the wreath. It is above the U in United on my coin. Does that make for a special coin Canuck?

 

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

everything was perfect! ground conditions,angle etc. This hobby is amazing!
sweet coin dude!

Sorry I meant you had a open bud, small O. I'm half asleep and posted it backwards. The Closed Bud is the rare one.

Thanks Canuck. Man I am stoked just to have dug this baby. Conditions were perfect. We had a flooding rain the last 2 days. Made digging great and signals pop. There are still alot of great signals left in there.

The AT-Pro just sings on those silver don't it. Hope you using headphones and PRO mode and going very, very slowly.

Sweet Seated. A few years older you would of had a capped. Grats!

 

[zaxfire69]

I was thinking a capped bust when I dug it. The site dates back to at least 1812-1815 in that area. This is on the edge of the property. The house dates to the 1700's. We haven't even been detecting around it yet.

[leenie]

where you fishing or squirrel hunting with the 50 very nice seated by the way. merry christmas dave

 

[zaxfire69]

@ Leenie..I was just shooting it. Never shot one before and it was the perfect day for it. Scope wasn't sighted in so I couldn't shoot to far. 700 grains flying through the air would make a real mess if it were to go stray. I am super excited about the good finds today.
