The Heat Is On......My FIRST Seated Dime!!! Yeah Me!!!!

[Gypsy Heart]

100 degrees in the shade and I finally get a chance to go detect !!! Headed to a favorite place that used to be a stage station,civil war camp and Bald Knobber Shooting grounds along the Old Wire Road.
This place encompasses 1000 acres and I think I have walked them all, so right away I noticed that they had done some bulldozing at the top of one of the hills! Yeah Me! Since I knew this had probally been a good picket post site ,I headed up there....within 1/2 hour of sweating buckets and digging square nails, I heard that sweet silver tone!!! A 1841 -O seated dime!!!! I couldnt even believe it.,...my first ....and the first coin that I have found at this site after hunting it several times! Its thin...its worn and bruised....but its mine!
I am so sorry I dont have a picture...but the girls took my camera on vacation with them.....
I also found a smashed lead bullet, iron pieces and blue willow pottery shards...
along with some broken green mason jars.....I am going to head back out there this week ,before the weeds grow up.....Figure the dime was my reward for braving the heat...I will post pic as soon as I am able.
